eastside story

Wonderful POV and composition...love that powerful silhouette of the man on the left, mysterious and enticing...great light...magical!

I really like this, love the shadow and light

Interestingly composed...the deep B&W seems to have a message, as does the crowd...
it has either a mystical or menacing feeling about it...unconscious, as it says in your quote.

I imagine menacing. best...jerry

I always love your street shots, Sharon. Always so complex, with lots of action and stories to tell, great light and drama. I saw that you have this tagged as Seattle and I'm trying to figure out where it is! Wonderful work, as always.

a fantastic streetphotography shot! to the title east side story: one song in in my ear:

"You better run you better do what you can
don't wanna see no blood don't be a macho man
you wanna be tough better do what you can
so beat it but you wanna be bad

Just beat it beat it
no one wants to be defeated
showing how funky strong is your fight
it doesn't matter who's wrong or right
just beat it just beat it "

Blue, Another great image!
I put my vote in for ya!

The game of lights and shades is skillful. The resistance and those hard shades give all the character to this urban taking. You dominate the Black and white one perfectly

Warm greetings

Blue C. You're the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent street capture. Lots of thing going on here.

very nice mood! I love this street shot with mysterious shadows

WOW, cool shot, were you JUST in Seattle? I have never sen that many people in post alley before. This was the spot where I took the first photo that got me hooked so seeing this shot by someone else is awesome!

Love the strong silhouette and the detail of the thin cigarette between his fingers. Alone in front of the mob, and yet, he'll go, go !

A dark story! Excellent strong silhouette. Well done!!!

something about that silhouette of the guy in the foreground and his cigarette, he looks a bit dodgy!

Extraordinary light...and a wonderful sense of mystery to this street image.

I have a hunch some story is going to begin.

wonderful contrast of shadows and lights.

Wow. the silhouette in the foreground is almost scary. Great image!!!

Great use of the light to create this image ---

Hi, Sharon,

My Camera is an old Fujica,with argentic films.....................................and he makes excellent pictures....

Soon...

if this is the famous or infamous eastside of Vancouver I guess they will soon be cleaning it up for the Olympics.

love the lighting

beautful street photography ! great contrast ! love the silhouettes in the light !

A great shot !! Love all theses silhouettes... Well done !!

I remember seeing this place as well, from Brian's site! Sure looks busy compared to the shot he took, great live movement here!

a beautiful street scene or blend, shade and light, a delight, sharon!
Five stars!
kisses!

Awesome black & white!
I think the youth of today is often really misunderstood. Many older people have a set way of how things ought to be, but the youth of today is showing that a change is needed...

The worlds of light and shadow meet. Some people are comfortable in both worlds, some aren't. This is such a rich B&W image. Love it.

I know I can only repeat myself but I have to say it again: What a beauty, Sharon! Your light, your frame & your tone make my days worth waking up. Thanks for this great one. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

une imagination sans limite et un œil au regard fantastique, la recette bluechameleon, du grand art, superbe ^^

Wonderful light, shadow and details. Stunning bw!

Quel titre extra pour une photo extra aussi

Hesitation, expection, enough body language here to make one's head spin.
Excellent character studies and composition, Sharon, well done.

faceless figures in a shadow world - great !

Marvelous silhouettes and light and shadow. Fine composition.

Great observation for a great pic.

Absolutely fantastic street shot. Love it!

beautiful uses of dark shadow and contrasting bright light!! love the textures, the patterns and the random shapes of people!!! oh -- and i simply love that quote too!!! so true!! faaabulous!

Beautiful view on that alley with the people going up or down. Nice pavement too.

i like the mood of this urban scene you captured.. nice work.. :)

I have to admit that this is a great secret to me and too much time was spent on this photo...Great!

Fantastic b/w urban scene. Life portrayed in its movement with a very interesting mood.

Grand contraste ! Bonne journée.

Me gusta el juego de sombras que has logrado en esta fotografia, buena iluminacion.
Saludos.

what a strange looking scene, to me anyway, everybody in the picture appears to be doing not normal things lol if that makes sense... it's wonderful, well done you!!!

Nice capture.... nice light! :-)

you can feel the magic waiting to happen!

The crowd has perfect need and of imagination to go out of the everyday life of the life

love the light and shadows here.

very mysterious, i love it!

Excellent street scene! Love the light! Bravo!

Great street shot, great light..

Nice play of light and shadow!

Makes me think of the horror movie I watched last night --Prince of Darkness.

good compsotion !

i like this one very much, there's a feeling of "déjà vu", the feeling this photography comes a very far remember, maybe from another life?
