The Happy Consumer....

The happy consumer, and.... "worried" look....

 

We hope for a better year,but the economical situation is at our doors.

 

Thanks for viewing....

Thanks

Interesante composicion y punto de vista,con un estupendo b&w.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Well, he can't be too much of a pessimist because he's still shopping. Have a wonderful holiday, Pnina, and a happy, creative 2009.

You have done for introducing us Israeli culture more than your official ambasadors, I have learned from your images a lot (almost) last year, for both I am gratefull..

Kind of reminds me of my Starbuck's image. The unaware captured by our roving cameras. I could not help but think that the painting in the window lower rught was you. Great gentle eyes, serious, and taking it all in. Well, who knows?

The worrying world economies is descending upon us, yet let's forget it for a moment & enjoy this joyous festive seasons ( like the consumer). All the best of 2009 to you & your family!

Tolo, thanks for all your nice comments

 

Jeff, we need to have hopes for the better, and be optimistic, it is a better way to overcome difficulties.

 

Vladimir, it is a very nice comment, thanks for writing it to me.

 

Dave, you really made me smile, the photo is not me, but it is me in observing, yes....

 

Dear Cherlyn, you are right lets enjoy the festive season

 

So again, to all of you, my best wishes, for the coming new year, lets receive it with a smile.

And your point of focus is where? Where else! On the DANCE poster in the background. Go figure! Planned or subconscious distraction? Whatever, it seems to be your signature. Best to you this Christmas Day from Len Marriott.

Happy new year.

Len , maybe, but I don't see it that way ...;-))

 

 

Bob, thanks

A true cornucopia of secondary images and subplots giving a good representation of the visual smorgasbord offered up to tourists visiting the big apple. Groovy gifts indeed !

 

Th way in which the rectangular shapes remain similar, while the scale continues to increase, is further accentuated by the large rectangles the bars and uprights in the window divide the scene into. I am left with the impression that this increasing scale carries on to incorporate the building, the street, the block, the neighborhood and beyond, in a kind of endless up-scaling of the smallest original bits of geometry on the shelves and in the card racks.

 

The liberty statue and the the words New York in the bottom are a nice touch.

A multi-layered photo, especially with 2009 coming soon. Complex and stimulating, holds my interest for a while. In a diagonal the man between ballerina and sceptic young woman, what does he see ? Superb composition.

 

I wish you and yours a happy and successful New Year !

 

Carsten

I like it original work.

 

Happy new year.

 

Alberto

Clever composition of multiple frames and the faces of three ladies. Typical scene in a big city, filled with what takes up a leisurely Sunday. Quite groovy, Pnina :)

Gord, Thanks for your wide impression. The richness of items and forms in that store were overwhelming and a challenge to compose. My hat to you for observing the NY on the lower L side....;-))

 

Carsten, thanks for your nice interpretation, holding your attention is a compliment...;-)) and seeing the diagonal is well observed as well.

 

 

Alberto, thanks and happy new coming year

 

Donna, this is NY in a microcosmos....;-)) Thanks as well for seeing the complicated composition.

The situation here is depressing.

Wonderful shot, Pnina. I haven't been active much lately but I'll have some time over the New Years holidays. As for "the happy consumer", I'm afraid he/she will soon become an endangered species.

Pnina, very good composition ,tone and caption. Wishing you a Happy New Year 2009. SHALOM!

Certainly an interesting point of view. Very well captured street shot.

 

Of course, what we don't see is the shop owner nervously looking on "is he going to buy something?"

 

Well done!

Many squares and rectangles in the frame make this photo very interesting!

 

Wish you a Very Healthy and Productive New Year, Pnina!

Jack, I think you are right.....

 

Amal, Shalom is what we need and still can not get, lets hope for next year.

 

TM, yes , with the economical condition you are right, looked the only customer....

 

 

Brad, thanks and My wishes to you too for a good creative coming year.
