You sure make it look easy!

Street is typically not my cup of tea, so i don't have too much to say most of these, other than the chap in #3 looks much like a guy from my work minus the beard.

But #4 is wild. It's disturbing on so many levels i need some more time to take it all in. I like that very, very much.

I can see it as a Picasso painting , only a few traces with a face floating over the table

Gracias Armando. It was a good walk in Los Angeles.

My initial intent was just to shoot architectural. But I got sidetracked.

Fisheye shots and ultra wide need a lot of attention to what will be included and subject distance to make a really good impact... Nice

Thank you Erik. Often you just end up with a big mess.

Yes, parking is precious and can cost "an arm and a leg". (When Paul McCarthy performed in Dodger Stadium last year, parking at the stadium was $50 per car.) In truth I don't know why she is playing with the meter ... I suspect she is bored.

I always thought that the difference between capturing a scene and capturing a moment is the difference between smelling the wine and drinking it.
Gary sure knows how to drink :)

Thank you Alexander. While I don't mind the bouquet, my wine preference is to drown my tastebuds with the stuff.
