This is a beautiful image and yours is a delightful blog. I've often pondered the same about the Prada dominance (I believe it's in the October archives?) and its sneaky dismantling of its competition. Glad I'm not alone.

i like that he first looks a little unkempt, and then you see that sharp crease in his pants.
This shot reminds me of a girl in my grade, she has the same body language as the man. Always got this look in her face and yeah she is alone in the crowd, just like the man in the shot. Amazing shot. I am amazed by the way you have captured the body language of that man in a single shot.

I'm always amazed at how a talented photographer such as yourself, manages to capture a frame like this without first drawing attention to himself or making the subject of the photo aware, and therefore self-conscious, that the shot is being taken. A heartbreaking photo indeed.

This is truly one of the most intelligent photos I have ever seen. It's beatutiful. It really opens the mind and forces it to wonder about who this man is, and where is he going. I love it.

i just started reading your blog and i love what you are doing. this is easily the best picture i have ever seen. never before have my eyes begun to tear at the sight of a stranger. your fantastic
This photo and the words you wrote just broke my heart in the most beautiful of ways. Nice reminder that the human condition is what matters most, not the rat race.
Amazing how the camera captures what we usually choose to ignore on a daily basis. Love your shots!
This shot is brilliant. It feels cold and desperate, and I love that. I check everyday for your newest fashion photos and eat them up with a spoon, but I find that you have such a delicious talent for candid portrait photography as well. How do you get people to allow you to take their pictures without them posing? I am always trying to improve my candid shots, but find that people are terrified to allow me to photograph them. They always either freeze up and look unnatural, or immediately strike their typical pose rather than being themselves. It's really discouraging. You have so many close candid shots of people that I can't believe they didn't see you. Do you ask them for permission first? Do you give them directions so they know what you want?

I love the shadows in the photo and that desperately clutched hand. Magnificent!
this one is really nice.
