92 Dec 22 Reply Thanks Marianne. Dec 28th
92 Dec 22 Reply I think I like this better because it puts the people in the lower 1/3 of the photo rather in the center. Thanks for the suggestion! Dec 8th
92 Dec 22 Comment This is great! I like that you included enough background to give us context. I like the story of this young man growing up to be a doctor - his current and future life. I also like that he made eye contact with you, which draws me into the photo. Dec 6th
92 Dec 22 Comment Nice! Very dynamic. I wonder if you could remove some of the shadow from his face (the problem with hats!). I like the silver door - I feel like he's on his way to the door and will enter into somewhere interesting. Dec 6th
92 Dec 22 Comment I really like this, especially the dog which provides the 3rd end of a triangle between all the faces. The guy on the right has a really interesting look.

It's frustrating when people want to pose and I want them to keep doing what they're doing. I find that I need to take a few photos of them posing and then hang out until they are bored with me and go back to their business. Sometimes I'll go away and come back.

92 Dec 22 Comment I like this photo and for once prefer the color version. I like the color of the wall and the clothing is bright and cheerful, matching the children's expressions. I also like the shadows on the wall.

I have no issues with your post processing since this is not photojournalism. We are creating images that tell a story so if post processing helps tell your story, I'm okay with it. I prefer having the full hand in the photo to cutting him off.

92 Dec 22 Comment Very interesting and dynamic photo. I also think the window adds more interest to the shot. I like the shopping cart in the foreground because it's contents tell me something about the women buying cookies. I like how you cropped it.

I usually don't ask permission for street photos unless I'm taking a street portrait. I find that if they do notice me, it's easy to tell whether they are annoyed with being photographed. If they are, I just move on. Sometimes I'll smile and make eye contact to give them a chance to wave me off. They rarely do.

92 Dec 22 Reply The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand is $125 on Amazon! I'll look for it in used bookstores and might get lucky. Dec 6th
92 Dec 22 Comment Here's a new version cropped using a 9x16 ratio. What do you think? Dec 6th
92 Dec 22 Reply Thanks. Using a 9x16 ratio is a very good idea. I'm playing around with it. I never thought of changing the ratio and it definitely improves the final image. Dec 5th
92 Dec 22 Reply Thanks. I'm playing around with crop. When I keep the street light, I don't care for the amount of sky. Dec 5th
