Refuge

Outside a refuge for alcoholics. Rough guys. I didn't want to get too close. The first shot is from behind a shop window. The second is me shaking in fear. The guy looked dead, but I saw him moaning at one of the others. I was in the herbalist's, buying some herbal tea :rolleyes:






Nikon D700. 50mm 1.8D.
 
I just found these shots. I really like them. Each evokes a different feeling, and, in the end, evoking feeling is what it is all about.
 
BTW, how long did it take for that fluttery feeling in your stomach to go away? You must have had a whole bunch of adrenaline in you if that second picture is any indication.
 
Haha. It wasn't so much the fellows in the scene, but the memory of my father who went down a similar road before his death. As did I when I was young. Thankfully that's all behind me, but the memories can still affect me.
