A late supper

You’ve seen it, haven’t you? The more-frequent inclusion of people in my images. Are you wondering if I’m OK? Do you suspect that someone else has taken over my blog?

The answers are Yes. And No.

In the past, I would have lined up my shot and waiting for the people to leave before I made the picture. But, as part of my ongoing process to see things differently, I’ve decided to leave people in some of the shots. We’ll see how that goes!

PS – There is a chance, I guess, that one of these days I go completely off the deep end and post a photo that not only has people in it, but is in color!

Platform. Passengers. Pigeons.

I can’t say that I was ready for this array of pigeons and people. But I had composed my shot and was ready for something to happen.

And it did.

Squashed like a bug

Seriously, those people need to hurry, or that giant shoe is going to squash them.

I have to give my good pal Ehpem credit for spotting the potential of this shot before I did. Which is just a nice way* to say I stole it right away from him.

* Right? I was nice about it, wasn’t I?

This particular orange

It was a stunning reversal.

I first shot this in black and white. But even I could tell that was wrong, so I switched cameras to get a portrait of this orange peel, bathed in misty light.

One gull

Just one seagull – that’s odd, right? Don’t they usually travel in flocks?*
