Street Portraits: Watching Out For Each Other.....
Lighting Info:

Sun Behind Camera Right as Rim
Nikon D300
Nikkor 50mm 1.4
Pocket Wizard Plus II
This is probably my favorite portrait that I have taken, it is not a great photo or some kind of masterpiece, but it speaks volumes to me. I have a younger brother that is my best friend, I have always felt this need to really watch over him. You see, my parents did not speak English when they first came to this country. The culture and country was completely new to them, me and my brother felt lost sometimes. Me and Steve saw these young brothers walking home from school, they had just gotten off the bus. The youngest one, Dee, had his ice cream cone and it was melting and running down his hands. His older brother, Darrell, took the ice cream cone and fixed it up for him and then handed his brother a napkin to clean his hands off. He then put his arm around him and they began walking. I watched all this and was reminded of the many times I did the same for my younger brother. It was a very endearing and awesome scene to watch unfold.
Enjoy,
Hector
