Thank you for being here. The Lensbaby is one of my favorite tools for Street Portraiture. I particularly like it on a crop factor camera like the 7D because it gives me a bigger sweet spot of focus. I just emailed you a discount code for 10 per cent off all Lensbaby products…..Sincerely, Craig
Absolutely awesome portrait of Red, Craig. His eyes show a lot of sadness, to me and their sharpness seems to accentuate that sadness, but, at the same time, there seems to be the start of a smile. I feel as though I am standing alongside him. Love the black and white treatment.
Riveting photo, Craig! I didn’t think about how crop factor cameras would affect the Lensbaby–I’m going to have to try the Composer on my 7D! Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for being here and thank you for the kind comments about this image.
Red is a great guy…..someone I recently met doing street photography.
I made this image on the first day I met him. He was generous enough to let me take a lot of very close portraits. I made some Polaroid Pogo prints for him in exchange. I hope to get a chance to photograph him again…. Craig

Great detail! Makes me seriously want to try out a lensbaby.

Your lensbaby shots are just fantastic.

Great photo, Craig. Good to see some new photos comin’ up here.
Did you get yourself a 7D now, too? I just got mine and like it a lot.
