#1: Hermann H. Hermannsson

#1: Hermann H. Hermannsson by Cracks in My Front Door.
I met Hermann in the Yee-Haw Industries industrial letter press store/workshop in downtown Knoxville, TN. Many people in the shop at the time were there passing time before that night's Tom Waits concert. Hermann traveled all the way from Iceland to see Mr. Waits.

Back in Iceland, Hermann is a multimedia editor (yourfriendlyeditor.blogspot.com).

Hermann, thank you for making my first go at the 100 strangers project a pleasant experience. I hope you enjoyed your visit.

This picture is #1 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers in the 100 Strangers group www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/pool/ or at www.100Strangers.com

Thank you, yeah, I couldn't have asked for a better backdrop. He actually picked the spot in the workshop to take the picture. I was a bit too nervous to make any decisions and was just happy that he agreed to participate.
Thanks, that place was fantastic and when I overheard that Hermann was visiting from Iceland to see Tom Waits I knew he had to be #1. Thankfully, my sister-in-law (HappyTimeHarry) was there to give me a bit of a push.

Thanks Lanny, the place was too interesting not to include it.
Yeah, I didn't notice her back there until I downloaded it to the computer.

Lovely portrait....

I appreciate your compositions which include the environment of the subject as much as the subject him/herself....

Looking forward to seeing more...
