The Last Chestnut Peddler in Rome (in B&W)

I converted an older color rendition to black and white.

nice Ted! That lighting was perfect!

Thank you. It's all about being in the right place at the right time. It was taken with a small Olympus P&S.

Ted, do not recall seeing the color one, but this shot is Perfect in B&W... Great job!

which is why you want to always have a camera, any camera! even a NON NIKON,,

actually, my point and shoot is the Nikon P7000, but the olympus is faster, the P7000 takes nice images, but is slower.

This is the same peddler on the following morning. I believe he sleeps in that alley and mans his stand 24/7. He allowed me to take this photo. He seemed like such a sad figure.

I hoped you tipped him, he is a wonderful subject.

I agree with you there... I have an older point and shoot (no raw) and its a (Shhhh) Canon but it is better than having nothing... I have used it for motorcycle stuff where I do not have room for the DSLR (off road) and/or no time (long Distance timed event..

Better to grab something (image wise) than nothing..
