The Smile Guy by *Six-Of-Hearts tells a story effectively, and that is very important when it comes to Photojournalism, as well as the impact it makes on the viewers!
The suggester said the following: I personally don't care about the technical details, because the idea and the story behind it, the feeling that a photograph gives to the viewer are more important to me (...) I accidentally saw it browsing DA and it just captured my attention. It brightened up my day and made me giggle. I admire him [the smile guy] for his initiative and his big heart! (...) I don't think he truly realizes what an important thing he does. Seeing "The Smile guy", made me even more eager to participate at the next "Free Hugs" event. And maybe I'll bring some candies with me!

Description

This guy is such a trip.
on wednesdays he hands out free whatever he can afford. candy, bread, whatever. He blows the bubbles cuz people follow them to see where they came from.

i totally dig this guy. he does this just to make people smile. to make a difference, to make people stop for a second and realize how nice life can be.

if only we all could be so open to kindness.

Letter to the Editor: 'Free bread man' an inspiration

I would love to comment about the picture you had in the newspaper about a week ago. It’s a picture of the “free bread man.” I just wanted to say, first of all, that I found it very coincidental that his picture be shown next to an article about a Sycamore student arrested for bomb threats. It shows that a person like him is just what we need. I’m not on campus much, so I don’t know where he is, but I would love to join him! Instead of just a picture you should do an entire article on someone who wants to provide smiles and happiness to his fellow peers. I put the picture up on my bulletin board to remember that the entire world is not evil and there is still kindness in people’s hearts. Thank you, sir!
