chillin' urban style

there's such a story here: three distinctive characters ( and no two focussed on each other), curious stances, comfortable dreariness, weeds and makeshift curtains..(and doesn't he TRIP in those trousers?) :-)
thank you; i love wondering.

Dave -- it's really a delight to see a people/street photo from you! I hope we see more. This one has all the fascination of good street photography, especially the intrigue of trying to read the relationships from the postures and expressions.

i like this shot a lot, dave. i hope that's some grilling i see going on in the background.

I really like it. The photo really draws in the viewer to ask the questions: Who are these people and what is the conversation about. You do seem to have a view of capturing the emotion of people.

I see a fourth person in this pic. Is there really someone behind those bushes, near the window with no curtains on it?

I think this is your best one yet! Well done.

Its gotta be a poster for a new reality show. I love it.

Yes, this is really striking.
Its great to see people shots from you, Dave.
Do they walk through that grass to get there?!

wow! your pictures are so beautiful! excellent!

Your best one yet! (IMHO of course).

Thanks.

This shot got a much better reception that I expected. I thought it was ok, but I really didn't think it was at all wonderful. Oddly, given that I can produce what I think are good portraits of my family, I find it really difficult to photograph people I don't know. Or, rather, I can photograph them, but have little idea as to whether the shot is any good or not. It's probably something I should practice.

Gorgeous colors and lighting in this. It should be an ad for something very hip. Like beer or cool shoes or jeans or... ooh! I know! Cell phone service. LOL

I really love this image. I find the way that you capture the image is amazing. The subject is kind of rough and unglamorous but the way that you get the wonderful lighting, textures and lighting creates a sort of hip and glamorous feel to it. Wonderful and really inspiring. :)

sorry... I meant to say:

...wonderful lighting, textures and colors...

:)

Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring us all.

Dave -- I have to say this is one of my favs, too ... reminds me of my visits to Cheltenham (sorry for the mis-spelling) -- and other small English towns... I like this image because it's as if you just stumbled by -- and they were so deep in conversation that they didn't notice.... I really like it... great job...

C'est génial ! une de ces photos qui rendent le vie plus belle.

Un modèle de composition.

Merci d'illuminer ma journée.

i love this shot!
seems like a very illustrious bunch of people. and the colours esp are lovely.

Mmm, sweet "family portrait"! Have you ever seen Tina Barney's work? This shot is very reminicent of her style, although I believe there is a fair amount of contrivance in the posing of her subjects.
