Portrait of a stranger.

Tweet

When I was at a Tim Hortons coffee shop in Elliot Lake, Canada, Ontario I was with my dad when he was alive and healthy, I noticed a man in a tophat and vest sitting at one of the tables, I wanted to take his picture but I was too nervous because I was more of a novice at that time, My dad said it's ok just ask, It doesn't hurt. So at the time there was a circus happening in town so I assumed he was from the event, I worked up the courage to ask if I could take his portrait and he said yes, I asked how is working at the circus? He said no I'm not from the circus , I asked whats with the tophat and vest then? He said he is German and he travels around Canada . So I said oh ok cool have a great day and thanks for posing and after I took the picture, I walked back to my dads table and said now I feel like an ass haha. I took this shot with my Nikon D800 and a vintage manual focus lens.
