Had an opportunity to walk from Penn Station to Tribecca recently (a 3 hour task :huh). Here are some of the people I met.
As always C&C much appreciated.

Hi Jack,

You got some really good pictures here. Well seen and captured. I especially like the last one.

Howdy Jack,

Looks like a very neat walk, I have a friend that goes to New York every year for his Birthday, isn't interested in anyplace else.

Great candid shots, and the last one is a "Classic" what a neat shot, and a very clever businessman.

The last two shots appeal to me.

The man pondering over which move he will make on the Chess Board,
he looks very frustrated.... must have been close to "Check Mate" maybe?

The man in the last shot, now how original is that hey?
He doesn't look shabby, carries a pen and writing pad too,
even his sign looks good ... this one's a classic .... Skippy

That's a great series of shots, Jack! So tell us, what sort of advice did you get?

Thanks Skippy. Those are my favorites as well. There were about eight chess games going on and the combined "action" was less exciting than watching grass grow!

Yup you are correct. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Moose and Bob.
I gave the fellow with the sign a donation for letting me take his picture but forgot to ask him for advice! Guess I'm going to have to go back there again.
