I was out shooting a few days ago. If I don’t know where I want to go I take the next train to Zurich main-station. I get so much inspiration in Zurich city. There are so many different people, from different countries, with different interests its amazing.
I walk by the streets and discover a poor homeless man, asking for some money. I went over to him and asked him to take a photo from him. First I wanted to take a picture shows how he is asking for money. But as I looked into his eyes I saw so many emotions and feelings. I decided to take a portrait.

I had my 50mm 1.4 lens on, so the bokeh on this one is amazing. I missed a bit of focus on the eyes but its not that bad I think. I gave him some money and went straight back home. I wanted a Black and white Image, because it says much more than a coloured one. His eyes are so amazing, sometimes, if I close my eyes I see his eyes projected into my head. I hope to meet this man sometime, somewhere again.
