New York, New York

'Joe'


Walking the streets streets of New York City for the first time, I saw this guy standing by a pedestrian crossing, when I was on my way to Chinatown with Rocky and Taylor - the guys I was travelling with. I poked Taylor on the shoulder and told him I'd be back in a second, and turned around. As I got closer to the guy, I realized just how interesting his face is, and was thankful that I didn't just keep walking. I introduced myself to him, told him my intentions, and he let me take the portrait. His name was Joe Maguire, and came to NYC decades ago from Ireland.

That's all I got to know about this man, before the light turned green and he shook my hand - after which he disappeared into the crowd.

A little note about this portrait. Try for a second to cover the right side of his face with your hand, and then the left.

Amazing, isn't it?

Oh my god, that's insane. This is my favorite so far. It's like he wears his dark and light sides right there on his face. Fantastic.

Great photo, and the half covered effect is a pretty freaky bonus.
This is good! I LOVE this series!

Ohhhhh yeah that covering up thing is scary.
But that just makes it really cool.

My favourite too :) I feel like this is the first time I've really nailed it!

But yeah, I hope I can make more like that. And thanks! : )

Whatcha lookin' at?
The contrast between the eyes, give off the appearance of good and evil.
