Description I've returned to DeviantArt with a new name! My new page is: [link] !

Another from street photography. I was really pleased with the contrast in this photo.

He looked pretty down, he was rubbing his face with his hands, and then he rested his head on his hands. I was walking by, I saw this, and *snap* He looked up a split second after I snapped him

Creepy background man.

The composition is great. I like the contrast in here as well, and that wonderful figure in the back creates a sense of uneasiness. Nice street photo; I like a lot of the lines and geometry in this.

I was very lucky to catch this photo. I was walking by, saw this guy and just snapped it. The composition was luck, but that's the fun of it.

I actually didn't see that guy in the back until after I took the picture. I wasn't sure if he would ruin it or not, but I like him there.

Thanks a lot for your comment

Great emotive portrait Jenna, next time try shooting from the hip down low as to get a close up shot without letting them know, you can get some nice results.

We need to take photos together!

Thank you ^^

Thanks for the tip....I tried that for a couple walking down the street, they saw me though, hehe. The picture didn't end up comming out -_- ;

Maybe when it gets warmer we can travel into the city with a few people and do some street photography

It's not against the law to take pics of "public behavior". I learned that in a research class. The problem is that strangers don't know that and then they tend to get a little agressive when Youre snapping pics of their "bad day".... I really think this is an awesome shot and love how the man's surroundings really play into the emotion of it. Talk about pictures being worth a thousand words! This is a great example of that!

Awesome capture, Jenna, it's raw human emotion. Where did you take this?

Thank you

I took it somewhere in New York. We went all over the place that day, and I honestly don't remember where the hell that was. New York or any big city...ideal place for street photography.

Never been to New York, seems sort of pathetic...

It depends on where you go. Actually...it's a mix. No matter where you go in the city, there will be people sitting alone on the street, garbage all over the place.
I love the New York, though. I love all the people, and the lights at night.
I guess it all just depends on your view. You know...the "half full half empty" thing.

hehe. Great shot, of course. I can see a lot in this photo...it depicts a great deal, even if it's a candid and isn't meant to describe any kinds of emotion. Nevertheless, it can be interpreted that way...I see a lot of exhausted defeat. But nice photograph.

Manatsu In reply to ScarletOak [2004-12-07 03:43:57 +0000 UTC]

It is a candid shot, but it does show a lot of emotion...even if that guy was just tired

We'll never know...that's what I like about street photography
