Photographer’s Note
Reykjavik, Iceland
I cought the glimpse of that guy and he was so cool.
I was told later, that this guy is very popular in Reykjavik. He has a house but he likes to ride a bike and to be dressed like that. It was his own choice. He is not a bagger but a fisherman. I really like his face, unfortinaltely I didn't use more zoom on that but the bike and clothes are also nice ;)
I used Canon EOS 10D for that one

He reminds of a man I see around Winnipeg on a frequent basis. This guy also has a beard, rides a bike, and looks kind of rough. I've seen him sleeping outside at night, though, so I don't think he has a house.
Good shot, how did you ask him if you could take his picture? I'm still working my way up to asking people. Any advice would be appreciated.
The red sign in the background is a bit distracting, but not enough to take away from the expression on his face.

Hi Jordan,
I am a great fan of close portraits and this man had immense potential. His face emotes a strong character. Love the composition but wish you had taken one of his face as well.
With Greetings from India
