Little brazil. Snow storm.

I knew this was one of Miguel's pictures. You can tell his style. Simple, powerful geometry, extra elements to add interest (in this case the snow and the passing bus) and an uncomplicated capturing of an everyday movement - mid-step, crossing the street - that adds up to the classiness typical of all his pictures. Maybe a little more detail in the figure could have been provided, but otherwise a very easy picture to admire (and envy a little). There is a real visual poetry here.

i just made this picture my screen background .

it has the esthetics of an expressive painting .

This is a great picture. One of the best I have seen on photo.net so far.

Very nice picture. I notice that it works well at the "normal" size, but also as a thumbnail.

i rememer this storm. just before new years. excellent job capturing it. desolate new york is not very easy to capture, but this is a very balanced and simple shot. all around, a great shot.

Just a MM's signature. Beautiful.

I see - I've to shot more B&W films again. Very inspiring - Thank you!

love it - very Steiglitz or Steichen like (can't remember from my Hist. of Photo Class so many years ago.) I wish the person was just a little off to the right a bit more. I love the desolation.

It's all of time!!!! Without time. Looks like in 70's or 60's or 50's....

 

Very good!

Nice composition and well-handled contrast. It is a powerful shot.

what is all that white stuff??? :) fantastic. Thankyou

An excellent example of shooting anywhere, anytime under any circumstance. Who of us would think to take out their cameras in that muck?

Simply great ... well done

Eu conheço quem gosta disto , mas...eu também gosto !!

Great shot. Would have taken the bus out of the photo because then I wouldn't be able to tell the time period. As well, for me would have been more emotional without the bus.

Beautiful composition, excellent capture of the decisive moment. Very nice work, Miguel.

Very nice shot (like all others from Miguel). In my opinion the bus is a very important element in this photo. For me it symbolizes a save and warm shelter, where people cover from the snow storm. It creates a contrast to the man fighting his way through the storm. This way it creates an emotional contrast for me as a viewer.

I also like it because it shows NY in the year 2000 and not in 1950, but it still makes you feel very timeless about the whole scene.

 

My 2 cents, Knut

It reminds me of Stieglitz's picture of the horse carriage in a snow storm. The story goes that he stood out in a blizzard for three hours waiting for that shot to happen. I hope you didn't have to wait quite that long.

 

This is one of those pictures that makes me remember why I love black and white photography.

 

 

One of the best photo i ever seen.

I can't tell you why, but I feel that the bus is just at the right place... Without it I think the left side of the picture would be a little bit empty.

 

Amousing shot!

Wonderful!

... evento esse: uma tempestade de neve sobre o "Brasil"! Faz sentido que o grão do TriX ajude a enfatizar os flocos. Tuas fotos são melhores que qualquer aula sobre fotografia em preto-e-branco :-)

I was startled by the similarities of this place with another place not quite so real....
