Accidental Cyclist

I love this photo for so many reasons. Here I was…a Buenos Aires tourist in the area of Palermo. I saw this elderly couple across the street and wanted to take their pic. Then…suddenly, a Buenos Aires bicyclist pops into my frame as I’m looking into the lens. He was delivering something and seemed to have passed the adress…so he stopped and started to back up. As he turned his head my way I spontaneously shot this one…and I love how it was so random and spontaneous. The wonders of photography when you’re at the right spot at the right time.

    Studio staged shots can work out wonderfully, but some of the best shots are completly unplanned and often by accident. Great shot …

    Almost looks as if he saw you prparing to take the shot and wanted to get in it so he turned around and flashed his perly whites… it is an excellent candid, only as you can do. How was the trip?

    ooo…Perfect timing to say the least! Great shot, my friend-I love his slightly confused and surprised look; not to mention the beautiful building behind him.
