Description This is the same man as in this photo: [link]

Apparently, he sits in the same spot all the time, because I saw him again today, and I couldn't resist asking him for his portrait. He smiled, showing his only front tooth, proudly.

hiyaa, i couldnt help but love this portrait and was wondering if i could use it as part of my final piece for my art project atm. I will be drawing from it and will not take any credit for the photo itself, also, if uploaded to dA, i'll credit you and send you a link to it pretty please?

LostMotive In reply to rhapsouldize [2009-01-28 18:12:11 +0000 UTC]

Ah right
I thought RAW would come into it, i have CS3 but I just need to become comfortable with conversions...do you know of any tutorials or is it just a case of trial and error?
Thanks for replying,

Hey. Really cool portait. I'm just wondering, where in Philidelphia? I'm from that area, more so the Roxborough portion, but I spend some time up in the city. o.o

rhapsouldize In reply to Selphir [2007-06-19 13:05:37 +0000 UTC]

thanks so much. um... let me think. i think it's right by that big citizen's bank... i want to say off of broad, but i can't remember exactly what street it was. sorry! i don't pay much attention when i'm out to things other than finding awesome-looking people.
