Jerusalem Central Bus Station 2006

What a thoroughly provocative image. The facial expressions and body-languages here are priceless!

critique

wow....er...brave of you to point a camera at this guy?! Powerful image, congrats :)

Striking, both in content and in style. Quite remarkable actually .. love it

... like finding a rattlesnake in a baby crib. The girl looks related to the guy, but even so, it's as if she feels that the gun is pointed at her.

I find myself wondering if you've had any ugly or threatening confrontations while doing street photography. I would imagine the security concerns in Israel would make street work potentially riskier than in some other places. I was once stopped and quizzed by a police officer in a Florida town while taking photos of their downtown Easter festivities. I'm not a confrontational person, and it was very upsetting.

Yes I have, and neither am I.

I never give 7. But I feel this image deserves one.

 

Cheers!

And extra thank you because I never receive 7's

some image tell more than the sum of their individual elements...Israel should be one of the rare country where such scene can be observed in public...it looks so natural in one hand and yet it has some kind of strange feeling (at least for a Swiss guy like me)...it seems the people can be connected but they somehow also look detached...the guy carry his gun naturally but looks a bit tensed...all this makes and image that has a kind of tension that create the interest (for me)....

Taking a little tour of your portfolio. I love this one! He just sort of looks sleepy to me (and watchful, as he should be), and she... depressed a bit, tense, -- This photo feels like "home" to me. Wonderful work

Thank you. She looks how she looks because she knows she is in the photo and does not want to be. I think that is the reason.
