jerusalem In the Alley

Life in the Alley,thanks for viewing ( please see large)

Thanks

All three of these street scenes are absolutely wonderful, capturing a melding of the new and the old, of vibrant life amidst ancient surroundings.

i especially like the way the bread cart frames the people in the background

Thanks both of you. The everyday life in these alleys are interesting to watch. The old and new melange is fascinating.

I've delayed commenting on this because I really do think it's a great street scene. The boy with the bread couldn't be more perfect. I do think it's unfortunate though how the table intersects the man's head. Other than that, it's splendid with wonderful tones.

Pnina, interesting street-scene. I like the two people nicely framed with cart loaded with breads. I feel the gentleman in blue shirt is little out of place in the alley.

I can't help but think about the vast contrast of these scenes you've presented to those that I most often do. So much that is so different. As if it is a different planet. And that's what makes it interesting eh? Lovely work my friend. Cheers.

Very interesting document and fine image too, brava Pnina!

Very nice low_visual angle, great details & perfect control on exposure, wonderful presentation of the life, Pnina! Best regards

Jack, Thanks. You are right about the table intersecting his head, but the alley was so narrow, I tried all sort of possibilities, and as I wanted to include the two figures on the BG it is the best I could do. I tried to correct it in PS but it did not look natural to me, so that is how life are reflected in these busy narrow alleys.

 

Amal thanks, as I wrote to Jack, the man was part of the scene, with his strong blue shirt.... He was probably the owner of the cart of the child selling the bread....

 

Dave dear, you are so right , it is another planet.....;-)) also for me and for many other Israeli visiting the old, very old Jerusalem alleys. You are right as well that's what makes it so interesting to see different corner and life styles around the globe.

 

Fabrizio, thanks for your feedback

 

Richard, that is the only angle I could take to include the whole scene, thanks as well for your feedback.

Thanks for sharing these glimpses of everyday life in Jerusalem. I love this low angle perspective because it truly makes the boy stand out and emphasize his activity. The wheels from the carts in both sides and the people sitting effectively "frame" the main subject.

Your street scenes are so much different than what I see in Seattle, and a real pleasure to look at. I seldom do street photography only because I have difficulty seeing interesting subjects. You are in inspiration therefore I will try harder.

Adan ,thanks again for taking the time to see and comment on my last uploads. There were stairs climbing to that spot where is boy is standing, so in order to freeze the scene a low angle was the solution

 

Shawn, thanks for your kind word, stopping by and commenting. We live in different parts of the world that affect our photography and /or streets scenes. It is interesting to see photos taken in different parts around the globe, and street photography can be a good evidence of a life style. I'm sure Seattle can provide good opportunities for you. Good luck.

Street life between social & docmentary are among my prefered ones as you allow the viewer to come a bit closer to the people, to their world...essential in our world, isn't it ?
