This guy was too much. I couldn't pass him up, and he was more than amenable to a portrait. My only regret was not having my 50mm on hand. Would have been nice to include the bike (cyclocross of course).

5.0, you are kidding me, looks like you got hammered by the voters who couldn't see the connection to science, even so this one deserved a lot more.

The joy for life in his eyes is marvelous. Makes me want to take up smoking again! :-)

Yeah, he was a trip. I was getting in my car when I noticed him. I actually laughed and quickly said hello and asked for a photograph before he lost the ashes. He loved the attention, and then began to tell me how he cycled through Columbia as a professional photographer. . . smoking of course. Naturally nobody could keep up with him.
