It's the faces. That's what I look for. Interesting faces.
I like taking lots of different kinds of photos - landscapes, cityscapes, pets, kids, interesting shapes and shadows - whatever. But like many here, nothing draws my attention like faces. All kinds of faces; young, old, her, him, them - whoever. If I know I'm going to be driving through some pretty countryside, I may or may not take a camera. If I'm going to be in a crowd that day, I automatically think, "which camera? film?" Hang a camera on my shoulder and I'm a people-watcher on steroids, scanning the crowd like radar and worthless for conversation with the wife.
But I'm not sure I can describe what qualifies as "an interesting face" really. I'm kinda looking for a face that tells some story in their expression. What story? I dunno. I see somebody, a story pops in my head (or they look like they might inspire some story) and I go after 'em. Then start watching for the right expression; smile, frown, concern, weary, concentration. Older folks seem to catch my eye quicker / longer. They've got life experiences that often can't be hidden behind some mask of a fake snapshot smile.
Other face-hunters out there, what do you look for? What draws you? Anybody?
