Daydreaming on the College Streetcar

Posted by Damon Schreiber (Toronto, Canada) on 28 March 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Like the previous two images, taken without the use of a viewfinder, lcd panel or other framing device beyond blind faith.

High-res here.

nice shot, was she aware of the foto taken?

@Dimitrios: Thanks, Dimitrios! I think she was lost in her own world.

Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States

Funny expression!

Good! Does your camera has a magic eye?

@Martine Lapointe: :-) j'espere que oui. Merci beaucoup, Martine!

Alfredo J. Martiz J. from Tokyo, Japan

Really cool, your camera must be special, after using it a lot I guess it has absorbed some of your skills... =)

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: Thanks, Alfredo! No, I just am getting a feel for it in my hands, though I'll freely admit that I miss quite a few.

Jen from Jessup, United States

She looks completely immersed in her thoughts! Nice shot!

@Jen: Thanks, Jen!

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

who needs flippable screens when you've got faith? lovely shot mate. She's off in her own little world alright. Often the best place to be I find.

@Duncan Galbraith: Indeed! This photo was rather a surprise, when I saw it on the computer. I didn't remember actually taking it, but I probably snapped a few quickly as I was boarding the streetcar, just to get that slice o' life feeling. Thanks, Duncan!

William from Sacramento, United States

Great look

@William: Thanks, William!

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States

I use this "blind faith" technique sometimes, too -- how many shots did it take to get this one? Or did you get really lucky? It's a beautifully expressive image.

@Ken McCoy: Got really lucky this time! Thanks, Ken!

AM Pilon from Montréal, Canada

Great serie! We once had a challenge taking Lomography at our photo club... (the technique not the camera!!!)

29 Mar 2007 1:55am

@AM Pilon: Merci, Anne Marie!

Rene from Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada

Nice shot, I try doing this with my 20D from time to time, still haven't mastered it yet. Gonna keep trying

29 Mar 2007 3:15am

@Rene: Keep trying; you only get better with practice. Thanks, Rene!

Sylvia from Milano, Italy

Wonderful expression---dreamy/sleepy/resigned. I want to sign up for your faith. Mine is getting all crumpled round the edges.

29 Mar 2007 2:24pm

@Sylvia: :-) Faith in good luck: that's what it's all about - not gods but angels. Thanks Sylvia!

Still from Valence, France

Superb expression!
