Uhooru

Really amazingly put together Steve. Love the way the kid is walking off the frame, love it.

Poor thing doesn't have a chance!  Nice pic!

Did I say S. Shore before?  I'm trying to figure how they got it up there and I wonder if they left the keys in it :)

You are one of the effective purveyors of the art of words and pictures here on p.net, one of the great genres (genres?) of photography.  It adds a whole dimension. But even if you take the photo on its own. Its really cool. A picture of the ordinary but just presenting it, gives it life. reminds me of stuff by Stephen Shore a little bit or even Eggleston, though its not so color oriented, it certainly is "Democratic".  Where was this taken?

Well, to be honest, not particularly, but when I scanned the film, that is how it came out, so I played with it:). This was one of those ephemeral moments that I was lucky to "be there"... the birds formation, the cloud and the amazing feeling of that day. It was blowing like crazy, and there was sand in the air.  I had to take photos between gusts to protect my camera/lens.

Yeah. I'd put yourself and Billy K in that category.

thanks Jack. Sort of a tale of two cities.

hmmm, I didn't see "legs" on the menu.

Wow Jack, thanks so much.  You make my day! :)

Thanks Jack, appreciated especially because you are one of the few, along with our buddy Drew that has a creative sense of vision. 

Yep, that was a fun day. I used the GRD a lot that day.  The area has changed a bit since then actually.

Thanks Niels!

I posted it for a thread on Street & Documentary, something like things you would never have seen in the 20th century:)  So this was taken back in March I think.  Jack, they're still asking who this guy is! WTF!

Very lovely and tastefully done Pnina!

John is a skilled photographer who is capable of making really good photographs, but I've said it before, too much of his work is taken with a long lens from a distance with little engagement or context. I'm certainly not the end all be all, but I think with John's skills, if he tried more often using wider angle lenses, like a 35m for a while, it would really change his perception and his photos would take on more interest. Some of these long distance shots of admittedly beautiful women, seem a little pervy. Of course John, please do as you like, but you might just consider what I'm saying about street photography technique. 

Nice!

That's a beauty Shun!

Nice portrait!

I had a teacher in school in a photo book making class, and one of his assignments was to make a (small) book using the theme of words and images to inform each aspect.  Now you get a lot of ranting about pictures should stand on their own etc. but I always thought he had tapped into a solid tradition.  Well, no one I know does this better than you. The title and this photo make each other.  First I looked at the photo, and I thought ok, interesting and then I saw the title, and I'm still chuckling.

Nice way to put new wine in an old bottle :)

Thank you Jack. 

Thanks Jack, the place at night is a sandwich of smells, colors, sound, crowds, neon flashing lights stuffed between slices of barbecue and fried ice cream. 

Really nice photograph!

Thanks Jack, it twas a funny moment.
