We were visiting the shops along 'The Avenue' in the Hampden section of Baltimore a few days before Christmas. This nice older gentleman and his little Pug in the vintage bookshop were irresistible. I'm not usually one to ask to take people's pictures, but I got up the nerve this time, and I'm quite happy with the result.
Thanks to [user]nam[/user] for helping me chose which photo to use, and pointing out some much needed edits to make it better.
Also, it's my first entry with my new 15-85 lens.

Not voting. I hope this is doing well for you - I do love the character written on both the dog's and the shopkeeper's faces as well as the jumble that surrounds them. A very nice environment portrait.
this seems like a snapshot, but it's more being in the exact right place at the exact right time with your camera in your hand and turned on--way to go!
Terrific casual-looking portrait of a man in his personal environment. The tenderness in his relationship with the pug is so evident, and they even resemble each other.
