As you might guess this was not one of my covert shots...
He was standing outside an office door with a colleague and when he saw me photographing the details of the door he asked me to take his photo.
He did not have to ask twice, and yes, I will be taking a print to him on my next trip.

A handsome man with sincere eyes. I love the fact you take the time to present folks with a copy of the photo you take. I bet most are surprised.
Superbe portrait...

Hello Genie:
What a superb subject for a portrait. This is wonderful!
Il est bon de s'entendre dire, oui je veux bien une photo !...
Une très jolie capture.
Gros bisous
I've never had a stranger ask me to to take their photo on my camera. It's great you will take him a print.
I agree with Sylvia...
He looks appreciative of your willingness to photograph him. He'll love the print.
isn't it amazing how some people take offense when you turn your camera on them and others invite it. he is a most beautiful subject and you captured him perfectly.
This is a beautiful shot. I know he will love it. :)
What a nice smile he gave you! He looks very friendly.

Nice shot,
and he looks real happy when you took that photo no wonder it turned out amazing.
I think it helps to have a friendly face—whether you're the subject or the photographer! This is a wonderful portrait, Genie --
What a great face!! Perfect exposure and tack sharp on the eyes. Kudos! It would be absolutely perfect if you 'photoshopped' out some of the background details ---
He has such a lovely, kind face doesn't he?
Handsome face; looks like a nice guy.
Well done, Genie. It is so much easier when a subject asks us to take a picture.
I'm sure he'll appreciate it. A really nice portrait! :)
Very nice portrait.
So glad that you all liked my "Paris friend" and he was surprised when I quickly snapped him after his request! I have already put this in my print folder for the next trip.
Stan, I just need to be careful about the background mess as I do not Photoshop except some very basic crop, lighten/darken, and b/w. I need lessons in that for sure!
Bises,
Genie

Now weren't you lucky to get such an invite! Great portrait.
Such a friendly face!!!
