[Leica] Street make up choice

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Ted,

I really appreciate your advice, the picture with his face on the mirror was
missed and tells the complete history, I have approached the man carefully,
I was intending not disturb him and avoid his protest... But I agre with you
that the photograph should try to be more close, more in contact with his
subject, the difficult is without distracting him.

Thanks for looking and take your time to give me this excellent advice!

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Hi Luis,
Very interesting and  like the others I'm going with #1. There are two
pictures in this series.

The one picture missing?..... A shot in the mirror as difficult as that may
be, but that is a picture that locks the series to-gether. I kept opening
the pictures and each time I expected to see the mirror.

This might have been a very tough angle but it would've given you "his view"

of his face. I realize this is on the street and you probably took these
without bothering to interrupt his make-up session. It isn't like he didn't
know you were taking his picture but I'd have walked over and tried to
position myself over top of or to the side of him some how and shot down
into the mirror.

Or if nothing else ask him to hold it up so you could shoot it.

But something in the mirror would've made this an extremely interesting
series, even if it were 2 photographs.
