Some of those things... Handheld, head wrapped, soft towel doo-rag. Cosmetic appliances to look after and protect the body. Typical attire for so many... to keep the hair in check and happy, and of course to wipe one's brow.

Just some of those things, just one of those days.. Hot... a sizzla...

Hi Casper,
Really eye catching shot, his facial expression is interesting though I'm not too sure what he's trying to communicate through it. Nice light and strange green background make the photo appealing. Great photo!
Regards
Lee

Excellent portrait, Casper. Impressive. Terrific light and composition. The colors are really lush. This is film, I assume. 1995, must be. Looks like a scanned print . . .? Whatever . . . great effect. Good note, too. Nice post all around. Best, -Hugh

I can feel the sweat. Nice capture, wonder what the meaning of the fist was. Good colors too.
cheers,

Love that swathe of green in the BG, and some good eye contact too. Nicely cropped with the forearm creating the perfect angle. Very well put together Casper.

Fine job, Roberto

Another powerful shot. Hot and striking...with that fist smack dab in the middle and the look of cool.

Hi Casper,
Tasteful picture like LP records. Grains and scratches are very effective, you have created this image with an impressive tonality.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

A great portrait Casper, gritty, lively, sweaty. And that straight look at you...the colors and contrast are superb and the signs of scanning seem to add to the powerful impact. And I agree with Hugh, the note is a plus, fits absolutely. My compliments. I think I would be far to shy for something like this.

Have a lovely weekend
Michèle

casper este retrato es muy bueno, tiene una buena luz y una buena expresión del modelo. Su puño cerrado es muy expresivo y muy simbolico.
felicitaciones.
