Willy looks happy here. Now this isn't what happens to old bikers is it? LOL You did get a great photo of Sir Willy here! The lighting is excellent. The color tones are great. The details on Willy are really clear. Good stuff!!!

This is an awesome picture. It is so clear and close-up. The colors in this picture are so colorful, and the detail is great here. Great job.

You have to love a great story that goes with an even greater picture. This is wonderful, yet again another picture by the renowned artist larder. But you remember when I told you that I would let you know if I find anything wrong with a picture of yours? Well now is the time. On "Willy's" hand there is a little bit of negative coloration. Or at least it looks like there is. But other than that I don't see anything wrong with this picture. Another outstanding job from LowRider.

    Thank you very much photokid!! I so appreciate you!! The coloration on Willy's hand is a scab from scaping it when he fell. Ya do great detective work!!! Yes! Please tell me when something doesn't 'float your boat'!!! VERY important!

Hello Willy. If he was ever a 'bad mutha' I except he has mellowed out a bit in recent years. Very good photo with much of his character captured in that face. Did you ask him to face the sun for this shot because we need a little more eye exposure. Very good photo.

    Thank you ben!! No, I just took the shot as he was. I have learned since I have gotten to know him better that his eyes pretty much stay that way.

Another great piece of work. I like photographing interesting people too. You can just tell by looking at the photo that he has personality. Thanks for introducing him to us.

    Thank you so much tom!! Willy will be excited, as I read 'most' reviews to him when I help him crush cans to raise money for his granddaughter.

Very good portrait shot. The gent squinting against the su. A lot of character in the face. You seem to have captured his essence.

I can definitely see a lot of character coming through in this picture and it gives the impression of a lifetime of stories being told. It is a great photograph from a technical viewpoint too, at least from what my amateur eye can see.

Comment from jonesirene


Now here's a portrait worth taking. You're right this guy oozes character. What a life is must have lead! If you do get a chance to shoot him again I'd love to see some black and white images with great lighting that brings out the texture of his clothing and hair and says more about his man.

Willy is a stunner LowRider for sure,you saw past the "drunk" to make contact with a dear old soul who was probably lonely until you touched his life as you have touched ours...cor this is sentimental stuff today...lol.The photograph is a beauty as usual,and your compassion is to be applauded.*claps claps*.Bravo.

    Still a bit teary---thank you so much!! I must say you have enriched my life with your determination to 'put your heart on the line' in the public eye.
Comment from kopilow


I can see what attracted you to this man - he certainly does have an interesting face full of character. Unfortunately I think this shot is spoiled by the fact that it is taken in harsh sunlight, which is also making hem squint. I would also have gone in much closer to capture more of the detail of that character.

    Willy squints, that is just Willy, if I had gone in closer could not have captured the entire beard, thank you for your time kop!
