“What is love? Love is when one person knows all of your secrets... your deepest, darkest, most dreadful secrets of which no one else in the world knows... and yet in the end, that one person does not think any less of you; even if the rest of the world does.”

I seem to be lingering around the streets these days trying to find sleep so can I just check in here. Just give me directions. If I can't sleep I will look you up and we can go get some night shots! Sounds good to me.
I really do like this. Once again, you creative imagination allows you to see things some of us don't.

I like the qualities of B&W on this one.....areas so sharp and some so unfocused. Glad you caught this one.

I never understand why i love this kind of shots.
I think it just show everyday life as simple as it can be. And it's so "élégant" (in french"...
Thanks for this.

That's what love is- daily and weekly, but no rates. Unconditional. Good capture and paragraph.

The patterns of light on the ground look like snow flakes, very NYC style of the classic shots of the 40's, Berenice Abbott's ghost visiting around, i like that (she might have already booked a room ? :)

beautiful scenery and contrast...love the light and the choice that this image presents to the viewer - move on, or stay, and if you choose the latter, for how long would you like to stay?

Holga never filters out the character from shots like this . . the gentle, soft puzzlement of the ultra-ordinary always comes through.

Contrast, angle, grain... love it !! Classical type of photo so elegant. I admire your capacity to create a new strong atmosphere in each photo.

I really like the movement on the street. A story indeed is formulated in the viewer's mind...my story begins with a down-on-their-luck writer who is looking for a muse and he comes across this place. He decides to stay here for a change of scenery. From his unit he can see the people pass by the window...
I am not a writer, but you get the idea ;0)

The diffusion of the light in this taking gives to the photography a very special enchantment. The marked resistance is very impressive. Great photo

I love the old feeling in this shot probably due to the old fashioned font used in the sign. Great atmosphere, love it.
