Cueto, Cuba - recent from my in process series "the cockfighters". While this cock lost his match this day, he will be well cared for and nursed back to health to fight again in a few weeks.

Havana, on the Prado de Paseo (major pedestrian thoroughfare): I know very well you are not supposed to photograph anything that is military or police in Cuba having been taken to the police station for doing so before. But when I saw this young officer from the "Brigada Especia" with their black uniforms, black berets, shinny black boots who was leading this black police dog, I just had to half way raise my camera and look in his eyes for a response. He stuck this pose for about one second, gave me a slight nod, and walked on as if nothing had happened.

Lovely. In a thread full of soulless walk-by stealth snaps of strangers with zero interaction between the photographer and subject, what a pleasure it is to see some eye contact and a smile!

...and I also agree. Most of the pictures in this thread are street photos rather than street portraits IMO. Very few of my photos are street portraits.
