I have two photos that I can share in my taxi driver series. The first one said he didn't mind where I showed it. The second is pretty obvious why I can post it. :) It has been very scary for me to approach strangers to ask to take their pictures but most of the time people don't mind at all. I think it helps that I can tell them that my dad was a cab driver for 30 years. It has been a great experience, tho, and has taught me that I can talk to just about anybody.
A driver is a king on a vinyl bucket-seat throne, changing direction with the turn of a wheel, changing the climate with a flick of the button, changing the music with the switch of a dial.

great character shots and very interesting to hear about your feelings about asking strangers for their photo!
I really like both of these -- the clarity, the B&W, really capture the personality of each man. I especially like the first one -- so cool.
That first one is definitely worth entering in a show. :)
