Out in a Break by Jose Juniel Rivera-Negron
This photo I took while on vacation for a few days. It was on May and it was still a little chilly out, it was almost summer so the temperature was perfect. Walking through the streets of China Town, New York and surrounded with its beautiful people, I saw this gentleman standing, it looked like he was just resting or taking a small break from his job. I think he saw me taking his picture; he was staring straight at the camera. I just hope he was smiling behind that mask.
