Three for Tuesday
It’s been a good couple of days on the streets. A lot of people digging the camera and allowing themselves to be photographed! Good vibes all around :)
Three photos for this Tuesday evening:
1. Andy was quite cheerful and at first he thought I had taken his photo some other time. I remember everyones face who I’ve photographed, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t – but maybe I’m mistaken. He didn’t mind me taking this shot as he talked – so I’ll say it’s candid portrait! He has lived in Winnipeg since 1982 and originally came from Deer Lake, Ontario.
2. A candid portrait at the bus stop. I couldn’t resist as I just loved how his hood was wrapped around his head.
3. I liked the colours here, so tried to get him while he wasn’t looking, but he turned a bit and caught me mid-snap! Oh well, I like his expression :)
Enjoy the rest of the week! I have some catching up to do on all of your blogs, so I will get to it!

Nice portraits, Mike.
I like them all, but most the first and second one (I can understand that you couldn’t resist the hood) :)
Enjoy your week too!
Thank you Malin! That’s a classic Winnipeg cold weather look! :)
Great captures Mike :D It seems people up there are a little more receptive to the camera than Manhattan. I sort of have to sneak shots in there.
Thanks Joe! Yeah, they’re pretty good, for the most part. If they don’t like it, you will certainly know right away. For me, I try to learn who will be OK with me pointing a camera in their face; can be challenging when trying to do candid portraits.
Yes, the hooded face is priceless! It’s almost as if he’s saying “When will this end?” Aren’t we all asking ourselves that question?
Thanks Andrea! When will it end!!? I really want to know haha. Almost April and still getting -20C; Winnipeg sure knows how to bring in a new season!
Hey Mike,
Love that you are channeling the good vibes this week! Wait…..I feel them too! Through your words and work! I just love that tunnel of fur leading us into the warmth of the human face. No matter how frigid the world, seeing his eyes reminds me we will all be seen in the sun soon enough! In the meanwhile, totally groovy shots here.
Happy snapping :) Peace to you, always ~ Allison

Love your courage and commitment to street portraits Mike! I’m still getting the hang of it, I hate missing out on great moments just because I hesitated or didn’t want to intrude. This is great inspiration. Thanks!
