Jesse Street Portraits - #sayhelloottawa

At my grandparents house they had decorative stand alone ashtrays.  Every time I see one at an antique store I think of my grandparents so when I say a guy walking down Bank St. with one I had to say hello.  Jesse @aviatorsess uses the ashtrays for decorative planters, a very cool reuse.  Asked if I could take his portrait under one of my fav spots the RESERVED signs at the back of the Book Bazaar, thought it just somehow fit.  

I love the few fleeting minutes spent together when photographing these Street Portraits, connecting through photography at 1/200 of a second.  I hope you will enjoy these images too and get inspired to say hello to someone you don’t know.  

Also if you are walking down Bank keeps your eyes open for some #sayhelloottawa signage!!

Walking down Somerset St. and what do I see, someone sporting a @nofunpress tee, a pineapple cellphone case, cool bright yellow earrings, and decked out in my fav color black!!. So had to stop @jessie.rabideau and ask to take her portrait, some people just exude their confidence and cool through their style, thanks for the pic Jessie!!
