Street Portrait: Eyes closed, innocence, and vulnerability.

Written By Joe Van Wyk

So glad I took a deep breath, composed myself in the middle of this encounter, and asked this guy to close his eyes.  I’m sure he lived his life on the streets with a tough persona.  But in this shot I recognize his innocence.  Haven’t seen him downtown in quite some time. I hope he has found peace.
