Comments on "Alone In A Crowd"
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.
He/this shot breaks my heart!
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!
i adore this picture
very Henry Cartier Bresson! Brilliant!
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.
i've seen this man a lot. he crosses the campus at columbia every morning.
This could be the beginning of a fascinating story....
This brought tears to my eyes.
I'm going to repeat what others have said: this brought tears to my eyes.
To be alone and chilly means he is heading for home?
I rarely come across a photograph that really touches me...this most definitely has. It is spectacular & devastating. The feelings evoked by looking @ this are of pure sadness he is huddled and looks so frail. You cant help by being absolutely heartbroken by just glancing @ this photo.
Your work is miraculous.
this is really sad
spectacular and heartbreaking indeed. thank you for reminding me of why it is so important to be kind in my heart and to the strangers who are passing through.
i know you may never read this but...
"ODE TO AN OLD MAN"
Let me hold your hands ,
if only for a minute.
LOVE will give you sweet repose
and LIFE, AH! LIFE
never leave you wanting.
this photo speaks a 1000 words, thank you for sharing
Amazing photo, but Scott, you really need to spellcheck yourself.
After reading (or I guess mostly looking) through your book, I am delighted to go every morning on your website. This picture shows so much of not only a man's outer style, but his internal persona as well. You've told a man's life story in the blink of an eye(or camera shutter) Bravo!
i feel sad for him..
yes, alone in a crowd.
Amazing Photo!
And yes...we're all alone in the crowd...
Love your blog, you're a big inspiration, thank you.
Wow, i had to stop and comment on this one. Absolutely touching photography. I would blow it up and frame it in my house if it i could get a clearness to it. This is so thought provoking and sad! True art
He could be the forlorn, fragile and forgotten version of the spectacular actor Yul Brynner (1920-1985). Yul's acting style conveyed the opposite.

I hope there are more photos like this. Even though I know this is a fashion blog, but I really like it when you put photos with potential social commentary in this blog as well.
It shakes my heart.
Love it
What a powerful quote and such a great photo.
A really good photo.
i like this post a lot because it has a message behind it. or actually not even behind it, it is a message of thankfulness and appreciation. i appreciate that. do more with 'messages'
