Rain Man

Rain Man | Portland | 2019

When exiting the Portland Art Museum the other day, this guy just passed me on the sidewalk. With his looks and all this gesture going on, how could I not take a street portrait of him. He was my Rain Man.

So I pulled my Olympus out of my backpack, passed him walking very fast while readying the camera. When I had gained a few yards on him, I turned around, lifted the camera to my eye and squeezed of a couple shots. Rain Man took my interest in him very cool, and I thanked him with a big smile.

A snapshot form the life of a street photographer. The image was taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and the mZuiko 12-100mm F/4 Pro Zoom. Image specs are 1/200 sec @ f/4 – ISO 1600 – 100mm.

Wish you a great Monday!
