Arriving to Unlimited Possibilities.....

The symbole ! Taken from a moving bas window, passing Time Square....Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks

Dear Pnina, apart from a general remark that possibilities are always limited and never fully exploited - I like this shot with the sharp focus on the symbol of liberty and no restrain, and the kitchen (of change?), and a more blurred front view of daily life. Well seen.

Ideals in focus. The people are but a blur. Such is American politics. This reminds me of some of Jack's recent photos.

It's so fun to watch images you got in USA. I like these colors and composition, your trademark.

Great street shot - and such a commentary on the "Big City", where one can look into the world of the private diner so easily. I am looking forward to seeing more of your trip here. I am sure you felt overwhelmed by the "bigness", but I'm curious about how you interpreted life in today's USA.

Nice street shot. Well done. Regards.

Interesting the far far away right hand woman ...

Typical big city scene--a ho hum couple ... the lone diner ... a peek of a kitchen worker's head... Universal and then so New York. I like the bit of play of the woman in white and the (reflected) disjoined white legs walking away. Perhaps she's tired of him...?

I like it as much for its tone and color palette as I do for its content. The lighting could not be better if you had set it up. Great timing to have caught it as you traveled on a bus. It says so much if you let it speak to you. I'm putting this into my faves.

Glad to hear it was a good time in the USA. Wish NY wasn't such a distance, it would have been nice to visit and say howdy. Nice that you always have your camera seeing and saving your surroundings. Look forward to seeing the pictures. ~Sky

Pnina, very good capture and apt caption.

This is a nice travel log. I can't wait to see the entire journey.

Anders, thanks for your visit and your impression, I miss your long absences.....;-))

 

Jeff, it remind you of Jacks photo? That IS a compliment!

Well, even though my Chicago cousin gave me an Obama pin to put on my jacket... Do you still think American politics is still blurred? I agree that elections are over ,and now rest to see the new president's function results.....

 

Hiroya, my friend from Japan, what a timing! I have told my PN friends, I have met in my visit in USA ,about my visit in Japan and our meeting! I will write you an email soon.

 

Liz, thanks, it is not my first time in the USA and NY , but it is always a challenge to photo the essentials.I hope to upload more of my impressions, in between, and after post processing the lot....;-))

 

Jose and Daily, thanks, Daily you are always observant to small details...;-))

 

Donna, the cut legs were a bonus.... I left it as is, thanks. Hope to hear from you.

 

Dave, thanks so much! The bas slowed a bit because of traffic , so I took 3 frames of that spot, I was ready with my camera all along the rid... Crazy me? Probably.....Thanks for adding it to your collection, I'm honored.

 

Sky, I know the distances in that huge continent and the limitations, still glad to " see" you here.Thanks so much.

 

Thanks Amal.

 

Bob, I photographed a lot, I will slowly post process them and will upload the more significants . I hope our meeting will be good enough, as the light was dim, but our group meeting and the atmosphere,were simply wonderful !

Interesting, my dear!...Ciaoamu!

A good place to start from and nicely taken - "let me know what you eat and I know who you are" lol

I see you're hanging around cafes and mining all the rewarding images that seem to manifest themselves before you and your camera. This one is a beautifully organized shot, interesting in both composition and subject matter.

Maurizio, thanks

 

;-)) Andrea.....

 

Jack, it was taken through the bas window passing Time Square........., Thanks for your appreciation.

I love this one Pnina -- the realities of lives lived plainly under the always unachieveable ideals of America's self-image. Plus, it speaks to America's great sense of commercialism and enterprise to use such a potent national symbol as decoration in a restaurant and have it sit unnoticed/unheaded by its patrons.

 

I do also like your choice of focus -- it really accentuates the message that I want to take away from this.

 

This is quite nicely noticed and framed for something shot from a bus!!

Thanks for your visit and comment,( glad to see you here) I totaly agree with your evaluation as it is what I felt seeing that scene, and translated my feelings to the title of the photo..

I was seating in the bus ready with my camera. The bus has stopped in this location, and I even took 3 frames of this scene....;-)) this one was the best of them.
