Jack McRitchie 150 Posted March 18, 2015 I enjoy looking at this picture for the same reason that FSA Depression photos always fascinate me. They record how we were as a people at a given time and place, landmarks in a constantly changing world. Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks, Jack. This was made not long after sunset, looking northeast. --Lannie Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted March 18, 2015 Perhaps the time of day accounts for the lack of drama, the perfect ordinariness and equanimity of the scene. But it's just that quality that distinguishes it in my opinion. There are no trumpets or flourishes. It is what it is. Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted March 19, 2015 Maybe that is why I like going out to shoot at that time of day, Jack. I don't need any more drama. Besides, in this little burg, the streets are almost empty during the dinner hour. --Lannie Link to comment

GailAnthonyHarmer 5 Posted March 20, 2015 Could be any street in many small towns all over North America. Could truly be a street where I live. Your choice of processing really was effective Lanny! Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks, Gail. Definitely an ordinary scene. I'm really trying with B&W and other monochrome processing, but I am not there yet. --Lannie Link to comment
amachado 2 Posted March 20, 2015 Very evocative of perhaps better times gone by. Alfredo Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted March 22, 2015 Gracias, Alfredo. Tienes razón con respecto de "better times." --Lannie Link to comment
