denny_rane Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It's from Nogales Arizona. Some great old buildings there along with a still busy F.W. Woolworth. Wow..... Really.? Didn't they dissolve 15-20 years ago.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericphelps Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Wow..... Really.? Didn't they dissolve 15-20 years ago.? Yes generally, but in Mexico all's based on need and being practical, I'm certain there's an explanation but in Nogales you'd likely have to 'know someone' to get an answer. Here's a Flickr page on it: Nogales, AZ F.W. Woolworth Why do I say things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samstevens Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 By Henry Chavez - Linear Despair Can despair be sometimes projected? Had this been an unknown white man dressed similarly, would despair be as likely to be read into it? Could it just be pensive? Might it be up to the viewer? "You talkin' to me?"

I have always thought it was, kind of, silly to name a picture, but.....i would think that any skin color in similar clothes and similar looking scenario would be "Judged" to be in some kind of a less than happy situation.

samstevens Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Your questions are a veiled incitement to an argument. I will not engage with you. My questions were the offering of an alternative viewpoint and the potential opening of a dialogue about your photo. One of the reasons I love sharing my photos is that I can be offered viewpoints I might not have considered or, even if I have, I appreciate hearing where other people land when they look at photos I present. Street photography can be very much real life, which your photo is. Real life comes with differing perspectives, and differing interpretations of a photo can offer an opportunity more than just an argument. "You talkin' to me?"

samstevens Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) It might be you too who is doing the projecting here I agree and am certainly willing to consider that I, too, am capable of projecting. I try to be at least that self aware. I get suspicious, though, of those who aren't willing to consider that possibility for themselves. Do an image search for “Despair” and you’ll see all kinds of similarly looking stances and poses. It’s an archetype: I'm not going to be led around in my aesthetics or interpretative capabilities by google searches. I have better places to learn about visual archetypes. What may seem like an archetype to one might be a pathos-laden caricature to another ... and, to many, might be somewhere in between. Edited December 11, 2019 by samstevens "You talkin' to me?"

lahuasteca Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 OK, here we go. I'm trying to get some practice in being un-noticed during candid street portraits, in anticipation of a "La Ruta Maya" overland trip to Guatemala during summer or fall,2020. My camera is a Nik D60 and I'm trying out the 18-200 lens. I know much better equipment is available, but I'll be limited to one body, one lens. The following images are from a "tianguis" (street marlet) in Port Isabel, Texas - November and December, 2019.[ATTACH=full]1321750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1321751[/ATTACH] 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henricvs Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I don't always photograph from a distance. I mix it up a bit. I enjoy approaching interesting looking people and engaging them. Nine times out of ten they let me photograph them and the results seem to always reflect our positive. albeit short, relationship. I like photographing from a distance when life is just happening and my being noticed would interfere. Once I am spotted the moment is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemorrell Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Gorgeous lighting, colors and 'atmosphere' in this photo [uSER=2236419]@petera(downunder)[/uSER]! Congrats! The blurry person bottom-right is part of the scene so keeping him/her in the photo keeps it authentic. I just want to mention that - if you so chose - someone could IMHO probably 'Photoshop' the blurry person out. There's a reddit forum where people (including myself from time to time) do this kind stuff for free. If you're interested, PM me. But the photo is great as it is!
