Smiling Man (film)

He works at a food canteen in my college, where I visit regularly.

 

On one Sunday, while I was loading a film (HP5+) on my F80, he was starring at me with surprise - like a little kid. I asked if I could take his picture. And he smiled like this. Took this image with Nikon 85mm lens at F4.

 

Later, I developed the roll and gave him a printed copy of this photograph. The smile was bigger this time.
