Mike

    Another Mike. I think this makes the third Mike I've met while taking street portraits here in the city. He was traveling from Vancouver, with his next stop being Toronto. He was basically a nomadic traveler...going from city to city by bus. He had some rather interesting things to say, such as 'channeling energy from space' and imagining himself as a telephoto lens! He seemed to know quite a bit about photography and said "if I ever have enough money, would buy a good camera and take landscapes, like Ansel Adams!'. Cheers.

      Haven't came across to many people doing street stuff here in city. This is great. Also like how you added the commentary as well.
