OurManInTangier

I like the humor of three people, but just one phone, one umbrella and one bicycle.

Also even though it's raining one person is wearing dark glasses, but she cannot see through them so she's looking over the top.

It makes me laugh.

Street photography of the best kind.

[RayPA]

In no particular order, here a few that caught my eye this week.

"A Monk playing organ" pstevenin
Lovely light, excellent balance between the cool tones of the windows and the warmth of the floor.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73068

"Charles Village" tjcasti
Unashamed color! and that skewed element in the background.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72986

"..." Gabriel M.A.
The almost lost, soft flowers of the tree vs. the colors of the building, and the rich sky. The chain across the road that forbids it all.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72911

"Resting Saxophones" dabevalem
Rich textures and colors, and that numeral "2" just peeking in. Makes you ask, "Where did the people go?"
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72881

"Fish" TimSki
Great warmth and light
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72784

"Untitled" OurManInTangier"
Oh the questions this one makes you ask.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72774

"La Defense" lushd
Cool and other worldly. I'm not a hick, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that around here. But I've never been to Paris :)
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72723

"Rua de Lisboa" CleremontPhoto
For that most intense blue.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72624

TimSki 'Sleeper'

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72909&cat=fav

A very nice photograph of a guy sleeping.

[Keith]

semrich http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72884&cat=all&limit=last14
I love this shot ... a beautifull old building and perfectly photographed.

our man in tangier http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72774&cat=all&limit=last14
I like the composition and the grain.

cosmonaut http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72685&cat=all&limit=last14
Just a lovely pic and great black and white tones and that bridge draws me in.

[ClaremontPhoto]

FallisPhoto 'Ferns'

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72915&cat=fav

An innovative way of making a print from two negatives. Really stunning.

[ClaremontPhoto]

OurManInTangier 'North Sea Surfing'

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=73125&cat=fav

Another one of his photos of wonderfully excentric Brits. Surfing, in the North Sea, in winter, and during a storm! Sort of like Martin Parr, but with a twist more like Elliott Erwitt.

Great control of the light, and the grain is just right.

[rover]

TimSki 'Sleeper'

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=72909&cat=fav

A very nice photograph of a guy sleeping.

OK, that is a different one. I was looking at Tim's Sleeping.

Thank you for the mention.

[ClaremontPhoto]

This thread is slowing down, as it usually does at this time of the week.

Did people appreciate the one line comments?

[Bingley]

I always enjoy this thread, and follow it every week, but as an observer rather than as a participant. From that vantage point, I would say that the short explanations for why participants liked a particular shot is helpful and a good addition.

[model337]

i also appreciate. i'm usually too busy to sift through the gallery on a regular basis so i really appreciate those who post the outstanding photos that they've noticed in these weekly posts.

[RayPA]

This thread is slowing down, as it usually does at this time of the week.

Did people appreciate the one line comments?

I think if you have the time to add one-line comments, then fine, but I think the photographer would prefer to see the one line comments in the comments field for the photo. We used to put a link to this thread in the comment field of the photo, as well. That was a nice touch. On the whole this thread needs participants and most people don't have the time to simply post a link, much less have the added pressure to compose a reason why.

I've taken to only posting the vaguest of information. I want the photo to get the clicks, for people to get into the Gallery.

Thanks Jon and Tony for the mention.
A special thank to Jon for keeping this thread alive. I've been very lazy these weeks ...
Anyway, these are, among many good others, my favourite photos from 2 weeks ago.
