Ever vigilant.
A well seasoned security guard casts a wary look my direction as I line up and take my shot. I must not have posed much of a threat, however, he just went back to drinking his coffee.

ohh, dear, he looks so beat.... so tired... and all he want is a cuppa in peace - and the pppppapaaarzzi is annoying him... poor guy...
great catch... this would have been my winner if it had made the emergency services challenge :)
Damgaard, (TheObsessivePhotographer.com) (61 months ago | reply)
I thought the same thing...looks like he's had a hard life. Wish I would have talked to him now...
And if I'm the papparazi, where is my big payoff??? :)

This is a great shot. He looks like he's at the end of a 12-hour shift.

Either at the end of a 12 hour shift or the beginning of one after a long night.
Thanks for the comments all!

Passed this by at first ... then came back to it. The cup of coffee gives this a realistic grounding... ummm.. saying this poorly ... just a lot of little details that make this worth taking some time to study. There we go ... that says it better. fav

That's one pissed off officer.
Probably had to work and is missing "the game".
Damgaard, (TheObsessivePhotographer.com) (49 months ago | reply)
LOL, thanks gilliguy...this was a security guard at a hotel off of Beale Street in Memphis. He was pale, gaunt, and looked like he just wanted to end his shift and go home. Honestly this is one of my favorite candid shots I have ever taken.
