Just a few friendly faces from my adventures in San Francisco :). Thanks for taking a look!

Above: this gentleman was spreading the word :). I am not religious myself but I liked the positive message (instead of the fire and brimstone they used to spit on my college campus).

Above: this kid was having a hissy fit... I'm not sure why :). Maybe he didn't want so many bags tied to his royal throne.

Above: took this one in the middle of Chinatown. He was standing in the doorway of a shop, writing something on the notepad. He was either taking inventory, or annotating the last known whereabouts of his pants.

All photos taken with Canon 5D and 50MM F1.4, 85mM F1.8, or 35MM F2.

Yay Dgrin! Hi Andy!

    I like #3 very much. The person in the store seems to be wondering what is going on as am I!!

    Hi Virginia! Thank you so much for taking a look :). Yeah, he seemed like a nice guy; I took almost 5 shots as I was walking by and he didn't seem to mind a bit!

    Nice work! (Though I can't for the life of me figure out how Virginia read that much into that totally out-of-focus, faint, dark figure in the background. rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif )

    Number three is just excellent. My favourite of the set.

    The text in the sign and on the teeshirt in #1 is too separated to keep the photo together. A better shot might have been from lower down to pull the two items together. The thing that scares me about #2 is that that kid could be in any shot from a poverty or war-torn area based on the distress in his face. That there's an "oldnavy.com" logo as well as nice handbag there, sadly, gives it away.
