The Boss

No, not the one you thought.

I took this photo a couple of years ago. I was walking along Houston St in NYC with my camera in hand, this folk came out of a futon shop and asked me to take him some pictures. He was so enthusiastic, I agreed, and he started posing right away, right there on the sidewalk. It was spring, about 7 PM, late afternoon light. I did 5 or 6 shots with a TSE-90.

After we were done he explained that he used to be a model and that he liked to do this for fun, then he showed me several photos and drawings that he keeps around the store that he manages. All those were done by, you guessed, photographers and artists passing by.

I'm very sorry that I forgot the name of this fine gentleman, with all respect, I'll call him "The Boss".

Hi Ruben,

A very engaging portrait imo, thanks for sharing. I like the saturated reds and pinks too. Btw, does he have a problem with his right eye? Nevermind ;)
