The interest in people is obvious but I can't see how the guy can be  
related to HCB in the first link  - the three pictures displayed offer  
very poor geometry and composition IMHO yet can qualify for "? la  
sauvette".
The second link's photo fits the HCB bill in more respects. And I like  
the light too.

Thanks for the links
