Thank you for sharing this personal story. You’re human and you’ve gained my respect for sharing your feelings before during and after this shoot.

I undoubtedly need to think a lot more in that direction to see a few things i can do over it.

This post has left me in shock!
Just this weekend I posted a blog http://byronancel.wordpress.com/2011/04/23/making-a-past-for-the-future about how I would rather be known as a “The photographer who cared more about giving us a lasting memory, than taking our money”
I am sure that the gentleman who you photographed probably has already forgotten about the picture but the memory is now something that will last forever.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

Hello there, thanks for sharing this story. I had a similar headphone experience with a man named Joe in NYC. I’m glad that you were able to see this man for what he was, even if only for a brief moment. Even if you didn’t catch his name or story. In case you see him again, or if you run into others and get to know them better, I’d love to have you contribute to my blog about – well, just that… getting to know the people that nobody seems to want to know. I started it in honor of my friend Joe.

Contact me if interested (this is an open invite to anyone else “out there” on the interweb)!

Whoa Victor..racism?

For the record, “whitey” (aka Gates, Jobs, Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jack Dorsey, Berners-Lee, DeWolfe, etc) is responsible for getting the internet to a point where 1) our first Black President was able to tip the election in his favor and 2) you are able to sit there and waste time reading blogs.

Come on brother, stop the hate.

you were a complete dickhead to the guy and here you come telling of your good deeds as though you were now entitled to our praise. no. fuck you, you insensitive bourgie creep. your guilt doesn’t mitigate what you’ve done just as white guilt doesn’t fix institutional racism.
