    A couple of very nice shots here. The three action pictures are particularly engaging. Can you tell us what happened in bboy 2? Did the ground really open up and bite this guy? Was he injured? Am I seeing it right?

    The last shot also is very nice.
    If not now, when?

    Hi there,
    "Hip Tourists" is fantastic--it just misses focus, but I still like it--reminds me of a scene from "Reservoir Dogs". Mr. White, Mr. Pink, Mr. Blonde and Mr. Brown getting ready to "shoot" the town.

    Your Japanese tourist photo had me on the floor laughing--the title is so funny.

    Like your entire set and your b&w conversion ROCKS!

    Hi, Daniel - Six and eight are the real winners here; especially clap.gifclap.gif eight. That image has a wonderful quality to it, a real air of mystery and perhaps danger - and the lighting and composition are wonderful. Six is good, but I think it might be better cropped, certainly across the top, and perhaps along the right side.

    This is not to say that there aren't other nice shots - but those two are special.

    By the way - lose the captions. Let photos such as these speak for themselves.
