Stranger #1 - IAMBASKETBALLMAN

The fist time asking a complete stranger if you can take their photo is pretty scary, because you start thinking stuff like 'what if they say no' 'what if they think I'm weird.' etc.

While today In the city I saw that there was a massive crowd, so I went over to see what it was, turns out, they were all watching this guy doing freestyle basketball, And man, he was good! After he was finished doing his act, I waited for everyone to leave, them I went up to him and and said something along the lines of "hey, you were really good, I'm a photographer, do you mind if i can take you portrait" He immediately said 'Sure".

Didn't get much from him other than that he's from New York, USA. He was a really nice guy. So this is probably my favorite shot from the couple I took of him. Let me know what you think?
