one of things i love about being in london is that it's a place people pass through or come to visit so it was great to catch up with mark scandrette this week who is on holiday in london. mark is a friend involved in mission in san fransisco who is inspiring, creative, and lives out experiments in truth as he seeks to follow in the way of christ. this story is from his book soul grafitti. somewhat bizarrely i also bumped into some friends from ireland randomly on the street and we ended up going for a coffee to catch up. it's a small world...
i'm not that experienced at photographing people - i tend to do landscape and just things that catch my eye but am trying to work on some black and white portraits...
[update: i have also uploaded a couple of other takes of mark - mark ii | mark iii
i think you captured this portrait really well

your post reminded me of http://www.flickr.com/photos/stoneth/ that Gerard Kelly used in one of his Spring Harvest talks last year, see my notes @ http://srjf.blogspot.com/2008/03/spring-harvest-2008-big-picture-3.html
