Attitude

Street Photography is something I really enjoy doing.  So this weekend while I was giving a photography lesson to a student, we visited Chicano Park, located in Barrio Logan which is situated underneath the concrete overpasses of busy roads heading in and out of Coronado Island.  As we walked into the park, I noticed this man, his back to us, sitting on a cold concrete park bench.  His hat was perfect for the scene -- the way he was sitting hunched over.  I mentioned to the student that I would like to take this photo but he stood and moved away as we approached.  Later, we found him sitting at the same place, so using my Spanish, I asked if we could photograph him.  He was extremely polite and allowed us to do so.  After we showed him the images on the back of the camera he was very appreciative of our interaction with him.
