Fantastic!  Did you set out to capture this 'Kodachrome' look? 

Where is this gold mine?  Thank for sharing.

This is poster material.  I only wish it were in color.  But the B & W deos give it a 'Life' magazine feel.  Thanks for sharing.

This is a light meter with ammeter.  No battery needed.  From about 1933.  This one is an IRIS and analog gauge.  The user guide was glued inside the leather pouch.  These were shipped with the Leica Zubeorschuh (1933).

I am happy to accept thick stacks of small bill in plain envelopes.  ;>

Never thought I'd experience it.  Thanks for sharing.

WOW!  This image jumps off my screen.  Very well done.  Thanks for sharing.

I wish the photo were cropped a little lower so as I might read which Hooter's Restaurant she may be found at.  This is important information!  Thanks for sharing.

At a glance she appears to be pouring creamer into the sugar cubes!  Thanks for sharing.

The placement of the table leg is perfect!  But I feel cheated...

Thanks for sharing!

I do not care for the crop clipping off the end of the cancer-stick.  By her eyes it appears perhaps a gentleman is offering a lite.  If a man's hand & lighter were included I think it would look better than clipping the tip of the cigarette.  Thanks for sharing!

I assume the background is suppose to be white.  To me it appears to have some blue.  Not a big thing, but I noticed it.  Thanks for sharing!

Very well done!

Story of my life, always photographing the wrong 'bird'.  Thanks for sharing.

Simply fantastic!

I can not make out the name on the logo, but it appears to end with a capitol letter.  Maybe the logo would look better if you flipped the image.

Why did you flip the image?

Thanks for sharing.

I know the feeling well but I don't look that good when it strikes me!

I am jaded.  I have seen human entrails hanging in tree limbs.  There is nothing that smells like a ruptured human corps or burning human flesh.  When I see photos of this I often think 'sucks to be them' and I move on.  After all, nobody is innocent. 

But this photo, of someone's pet, obviously just killed as the bright blood indicates, strikes me.  I have pet cats.  Over the years I have lost pets.  I've had to put down my own pets too.  None of it is easy.  For many of us our pets are like perpetual children in that our pets never mature like human children - the pets remain at a mental level near the same as human toddlers.  In our minds this puts pets into the same category as our children. In that regard - as a human child - having just been struck and killed by a car, the composition of this photo is only justified by an investigator of the incident in my opinion. 

But this in not a child, the cat is probably a pet.  We see a cat but think of our pets and by extension think of our children.  We react to this photo as if it were one of our human children laying dead beside the road.  This is a very powerful photo.  If it were a human child I would not comment.  But the photo is of a cat. 

I have cats and know from experience any day one may not come home.  I may never see one again or I may find one like this and have to put it to rest in the ground.  This is a very powerful photo.  Congratulations.  Kudos to you for having the steel to compose and take the photo.  And thanks for sharing.

The composition is fantastic!  The thumbnail is intriguing too.  This is one of those great images that the more I look at it the more I see.  Tell me, are her 'raccoon-eyes' makeup or from sunglasses (natural)?  Her eyes seem to tie in with the out of focus object (statue?) in the foreground nicely.  Great work and thanks for sharing.

This one is more interesting.

I'm just thinking out loud here -

If this composition is an assignment then the execution is great. I have a sense of curiosity about the hidden woman.  The man is formidable, even intimidating.  The railroad tracks imply he can stop a train.  And on and on.

But if this composition is your choosing then I think it needs to be cropped down to a bust-size to make a good portrait.  Otherwise, as a portrait of a couple, this one is dominated by the man.

Thanks for sharing!

I feed hummingbirds and can get very close if I am still, but this example of yours blows my mind!
