Big Hugs

July 17, 2011

Hugs in the street. Canon 7D, EFS 50mm 1.4 at f2.2 1/80, ISO 125A Perfect Photographic Morning Part 4

After I left the barber shop I continued around the block and I saw these two guys causing a bit of commotion up the street.  It looked interesting so I headed up towards them until I could see their sign.  These two, a huge 6’8” older guy in cowboy boots and a little skinny guy had come downtown on a December Sunday morning and were giving out hugs.  At first I was wondering if people would be a little creeped out but they were so open and genuine and not doing it in an creepy way so a lot of people came up to get their hugs.  After I got my hug I hung back a bit to take some pictures of them and I don’t think that anything I got was really good but it does help to tell the story of my morning.  I was so glad I went out for  a walk with my camera and took some chances, it was really worth it.
