Hey man. Hisashi buri ne! many thanks again for all the encouragement. Back on the horse. Struck a bit of a wall regarding certain projects but still got a few days left to go...here's hoping. Anyway. Lol at the last link you posted regarding the bigfoot book. I need to buy that. cool photo journalistic stuff here. asking many questions...I'd like to imagine its some big hoo-ha regarding the Ola Hair Spa, someone got a blue rinse and it went wrong and they came back looking for payback...heated curlers at high noon. The bloke 2nd left looks like its all been a bit too much and he's having a post-victory smoke. The reflections add a lot to this too. I like the fact they reveal the 'walker'. And the '9-1-1' is the icing on the cake.

Bronnie from New Zealand

Brilliant stuff, very photojournalist - had to laugh at Duncan's commentary!!!

@Bronnie: Heh, much appreciated, Bronnie!

Daniel from Olympia, United States

Lots of interesting stuff in this frame. Unfortunately, I don't think it works very well. There is just too much going on without a real focal point. Plus, its hard to tell exactly what is going on. Like, what is the cop doing? Is he going to question the driver or the people on the street? Closer is better.

@Daniel: Lots of questions is good. I agree that the scene isn't very clear. That's kind of why I called it Street Drama: it was obviously interesting to the people watching, but not necessarily clear what was going on. I still think it works as an intriguing photo, but not necessarily as photojournalism. Thanks for the though-provoking comment, Daniel!

William from Sacramento, United States

Nice, love it.

Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States

i think this shot works just fine.. I like how the men in the foreground seem to be apathetic to the action in the background. Nice one

@Nick Passantino: Thanks, Nick! I think it's a bit off-beat in that the action isn't obvious, but there's enough there to keep one guessing - and that's good enough for me.
