Friday I'm in Love

what are your thoughts on seeing this?

The Cure! I like the selective color.

My thoughts are that there could not be a greater contrast between the person in the picture and the "brainless commercial message". Almost hear the person mumbling: "fu@# off", and therefore a great capture, as always...

Hugh, I love this! It is very simple yet strong! Excellent rendering!

Thank you for your comments & time,

I shot this lady on Londons busy Oxford Street, many where passing but not saying much in there posture or expression.

when this old lady passed it just seemed to come together, or what I mean to say is that it made such a stark contrast to how she looked she was feeling.

Frits got it right in his perception

Wonderful ,real sreet shot with a story to tell

 

When are you going to write!

I dont know what possesed me to come here and post 3 photos. Guess i missed the aggravation of getting 3/3 s :)

Anyway ,i'll delete them in a few days,then ,probabbly will take me a loooooooooooong time to come back again. Take care. Judy

Oxford Street ?!!! Amazing. Great shot, which can indeed be posted under Street, or Documentary, or News/Journalism, or Humour depending on the story everyone wants to put behind the photo. I wish I could I taken this photo myself ! Well done ! 6/6. Have you tried the full back and white as a second version ?

I love this type of shot. I have been on a sign/"found text" kick lately--after looking at a Walker Evan's book recently. I would also like to see the original of this shot, before post-processing/selective color treatment, however.

Hi Chuck,

 

Great to see you here, walker evens is one of my all time favorites perhaps my most revered photographer, I would love to come to the states 7 do a modern day version/interpretation of his work through my eye's.

you must have noticed that i have deleted a lot of my work including the digital art folder I am looking at trying to keep it real so you will see as close as I can get to my beloved b&w's.

I will try to remember to upload the original for you to compare with.

 

Thanks for viewing & your comment too both appreciated.

Ha. Yes, quality over quantity right? I didn't notice until you said something. I liked the square formatted images though...the series with statue of liberty, guys behind, etc.

this is the original image as requested only the levels have been adjusted as it was a bit dark.

Superb capture, Hugh. This scene is unique. I like the color-b/w composition. Both versions are great. Excellent work! Best regards!

Thank you David,
