2014 Chalk and Flare.JPG

For your enjoyment, ratings and critiques. This is a 1967 Cannonet

QL17 with Fuji Provia. The flare and ghosts are just part of the joy.

Just a little bit too staged and clean for my taste. But I agree, the flare and ghost works well; so does the curved streak of reflective pavement leading to the manhole cover.

Cool!  "Staged" it wasn't.  A grandmother and grandfather were playing with the grandkids in front of the Tacoma Museum of Glass as I flew by on my bike commute.  I saw the chalk art, stopped, whipped out my 1967 Canon Cannonet QL17, asked permission to shoot, and took two quick pics.  Then I kept riding home.

So, if it comes off as "staged", it must be just that good!  :-)
