Just do it. פשוט תעש&#14

This is the closest you get to a Nike commercial and blending cultures.
When I saw the man running with coffee in hand running in his expensive holy garments I just knew a possible collision was about to happen. Well it didn't but I enjoyed this so much I had to photograph the moment.

Very well done... The architecture is not right, but otherwise I agree with Ben that the picture could have been taken in Antwerp! Kind regards, Frédéric

Wings Wow they made you a silver. This is great for you my friend. Seems they do truly recognize great shooters after all. I don't know when it happen but go out have. A great walk in a small village and where ever it is , in spirit I'll meet you there. My camera I extend in the air to you. Cheers

Wings Thanks Luciti,.

This is a wonderfull and very rare street scene! No connection with posters, no imposed idea, no words, nothing that comes to artificially help the idea in the photo! It is very original what you have caught and tell a lot on your spirit while walking on the street! bravo!

Nice contrast between the stressed and the two relaxed guys, very good.

Wings Martin you stood next to me that day. Let's thank your friend for being so slow. Ha ha ha. Lye me know when you want me to take you street hunting again. One for all and all for one.

Martin Gunnarson I thought so, sometimes things seem to happen for a reason. I'll get in touch.

best shot ,

Wings Thanks. Some times. Street is not about the stalking but the wait. In the end the hunt is accomplished and the beacon comes home to the village. Hmm did I say that right.

Pedram yes ;) this is magic of street photography .

:) Very enjoyable street. That chance addition of his trousers catching the reflections adds the icing. You were primed!

Wings Sorry Andre I just got internet and I shouldn't be on it. Don't know when this happened. I'm in Syria. I shot this with my cheap 49 dollar USA lens I picked up at the calumet camera store. Turns out every one that had money traded it in there 35-70mm f 3.3 for a 14-24 f2.8. The glass is legendary. And works a crisp shot like film run just right in developer with the right consistent temperature.

About bout the light ripples. Yeah I saw it and just waited for the late comers run towards me. This is my entry shot to Gerrards Rugby:) No ball , but he has a coffee cup.

They more than likely work for B&H the worlds largest camera store in new york as seen in the bcakground

Steve Hill I'd bet every dollar they are B&H guys taken somewhere between 8-10:00 in the morning. I've taken a few of these while excitedly testing out new gear.

hey, Wings
why do i keep on search for words to describe my feelings about your shots and then i simply do not write anything at all.... ?
maybe just because my words can't describe my feelings about them... yes, for sure that is the reason why... still i hope now you get the point of it-
excellent.
;-)

Wings I'm flattered. Somewhere along the way after getting beaten up after trying to be like most. I discovered the best way for me is to go ass backwards. That way no one see's me coming. When they do. Not much is said. But the wake of my attempt to share thoughts with other shooters is all that is left in the aftermath. We all shoot , and between friendships somehow we get past seeing each others work as just tea leaves. At this point the statement within out work becomes art. And so it is how I feel about your work and people that are close to me. So in short your words are like a description of art we all strive for. I'm honored you took the time and thought about my humble work cheers.

barbara ;-)
you are sweet, thank you! Have a great day! Do not forget to laugh...

What a capture, love the tones. if you don't mind my asking did you post process beyond basic levels /contrast, or this effect requres some post skill? if not, pray do tell what is this lens?
