This picture is #40 in my 100 strangers project . Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page.

 

I found Luis in the DTC not too far from where I work. It was around lunchtime and I was making my occasional lunchtime rounds hoping for stranger shots. When I approached him, Luis was a tad unsure, but eventually relented.

 

Luis is a CSR (customer service rep) for a local company in the DTC. He's been doing it around 2 years.

 

I asked if he was interested in photography, and he said somewhat, but he uses his phone for convenience. I told him that due to the camera I was using if I did my job properly the quality would be very good indeed.

 

Thanks for posing for the portrait Luis! I hope you find it

 

 

Tech Notes

The odd light edges around the photo are due to a light leak in my Hasselblad's focal plane shutter. If I don't remember to put the dark slide in as I move from location to location, I can get fogging around the edges.

 

I am really going to miss Plus-X!
