The Coolest Dude in Harlem
He was sitting in the window of Starbucks on 125th Street in the heart of Harlem, New York City, and I couldn't stop myself. I went in and told him he had a great tie, and could I take a picture ?
He replied: "300 bucks".
I laughed and said I was English and couldn't manage that (as if being English had anything to do with it).
He pretended to be disappointed, and said, "OK, go ahead, but you're stabbing me in the back". I fired off a dozen shots in case he changed his mind, and he started chanting to the crowd around us " He's stabbing me in the back, he's stabbing me in the back".
Then he laughed and I got this shot.

Dislike about photo: A couple things. I like the result, but it still doesn't capture the feelings I had while I was there like I hoped it would. Also, it is nowhere near as great as some of the other photos submitted for this contest.

See my Autumn set for all my red leaf pictures.
Today I drove by the tree that gave me this wonderful photo op. It really did get an early start on fall. Sadly, its leaves are almost all gone now -- even though nearly every other tree on the street is still green.

-Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797)
Dedicated to all individuals who think they're not "beautiful enough". You are more beautiful than you think. Let your personality shine through and believe in yourself and who you are. Ugliness is a word that does not exist!
