Portrait by Ryszard Wierzbicki
I took this portrait of this gentleman before entering the Smokey Mountain slums. He was standing on the street, watching the traffic around the Manila port, where many shipping and freight companies have their branches. He probably had some experience working on the waterfront. The penetrating gaze and the expressiveness of his face made me want to press the shutter trigger.
