Very good photo Paul. I will have to get up the courage to get in closer.

Good work Paul, one wonders how someone in this situation can have such dignity perhaps it is self belief or an illusion.

Thanks fellas.

Dave, go for it. When I ask people for their portrait, I always consider it tantamount to askin' out a girl everytime.
There is the fear of rejection that is apparent, and can be a barrier. If you don't mind that, then its cool.
Its always in the back of my mind, but it doesn't stop me when someone has a really interestin' face, and there will always be someone who'll say yes.

A business card, a smile and a few nice words can make your subject feel at ease, and work for you too.
