Next Door Neighbors Make Great Photo Subjects!

Just the other day I noticed my elderly next door neighbor cutting his grass. I was thinking about the idea of observing people more carefully and I noticed he had this awesome face. No he wasn't one of those Ralph Lauren models, but he had 'character to spare' and his face told a story - a story I wanted to try and capture. There are specific poses and techniques to shooting a face with character. Strong lighting is a good start and converting the file to B&W can give it depth.
