Listener

Listener, originally uploaded by pamhule.

I saw this man listening to a conversation in Washington Square Park while I was on my way out of the park. I could tell from some distance away that his posture and the background would make an interesting image, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to casually capture the scene. In the end, I just got lucky. I shot the photo with the camera by my hip with the lens wide open at 1.2 (at 85mm).
