It was hard not to notice Steve. He definitely stood out from the crowd despite his camouflage at the Bicentennial commemoration of the Battle of York in Toronto. The Battle of York took place during the War of 1812.
Steve is in the Canadian military and I thought he looked like Sasquatch but this is really a ghillie suit, a form of camouflage worn in combat to blend into foliage. He was one of several soldiers in uniform mingling with the crowd and representing the modern Canadian Forces.
When I asked to photograph him for my projechttp://www.utah.com/destinations/t he was quite accommodating and even met my request that he move the strands aside "a bit" so that at least part of his face would be visible. When I asked Steve just where this suit would be worn to blend into the surroundings, he shrugged and guessed "A haystack, maybe." We both had a laugh as he explained that this suit is not that practical in combat and would likely tangle with a rifle and that it is often worn at public events like today's.
Thank you Steve for being Stranger #39 for my project.

For the record, firing a full power flash into your mouth hurts. Also gripping it by your teeth for a length of time also hurts.
SB600 held in mouth fired about 1/4 power using CLS triggering, SB900 (too big to fit in mouth) in umbrella camera right about 5 feet away fired TTL +1.
I need a shave.
I met Flavio in a centric street, while he was trying to capture a self portrait with his phone.
Despite his apparent corpulence and not looking like the friendliest man on the city, I tried my chances with him and luckily he proved me wrong.
I offered to take him a portrait and send it to him if he wanted to, but kindly refused. I didn't dispair: my B plan was to explain him the Strangers project, and he expressed no objection to that, so on we went.
Since he seemed eager to cooperate, I positioned him against a wooden door nearby which I thought it would be a nice background. However, the light seemed turned out to be rather flat and I didn't nail the focus very well (alas, the 50mm) so I decided to try again, simply by turning to a side and trying to get a better illumination and a fading stone wall with some stores at the end, towards the Cathedral square, as a background. The slightly tilted body position looked a bit more dynamic to me so I decided to stick with this one.
Flavio proved to be a kind man, a bit on the shy side. Apparently he comes from Brazil but lives in the country, and was spending some time visiting Barcelona. Even though it is rather likely he won't ever see this portrait, I'm thankful for the time he spend with me and for that little gift of a portrait.
BTW I'm still undecided about wich version looks better: the color or the black and white conversion. I leave that up to you, fellow photographers :-)

1941 Chevrolet AK Series Pickup
Chassis No: KEA183597
History: The 1941 Chevrolet AK Series pickup brought to the General Motors light-truck lineup a new sense of strength in design and engineering. Knowing their products might soon be rolling into World War II encouraged truck makers to design stronger, more versatile new models for the early 1940s. This was Chevy's broadest commercial truck lineup yet.
The 1941 truck design was related to the passenger cars, beveled grille bars were horizontal in the upper section, vertical below; headlamps sunk partly into the front fenders. All this added up to quite a streamlined Chevy, more modern looking than the T-series Dodge and the 1941 Ford, if not quite as sleek as the new Studebaker M-series or International's K-line.
A crank-open windshield and metal-framed door windows were new features, while the wide, comfortable seat used a latex-bound hair pad on coil springs. Brochures noted a tailgate "heavily reinforced with box-type girders and channels, welded to form an all-steel unit of extraordinary strength and rigidity" and fitted with an "anti-rattle fastening."
Pickups came in 1/2- and 3/4-ton versions, the latter on a longer 125-inch wheelbase. Boxes were heavy-gauge steel with a durable wooden floor, reinforced and protected with steel skid strips.
KEA183597: Presented here, is one of the most beautifully restored ’41 Chevy Pickups currently on the market! No detail was overlooked during the meticulous, frame-off restoration of this fine vehicle. Every component of the truck has been refreshed or replaced. Finished in a two-tone green finish complimented by a brown and tan interior; the ’41 boasts many extras such as dual wipers, heater, wooden bed rails, chrome bumpers, protective side steps, and dual exhaust. Mechanically strong through out, this classic collectable is sure to bring joy to its new owner for many years to come!
