    These are far from that. I love the graphic elements in #1

    #2 and #3 are wonderful. There's really nothing in the scene that can change without changing the pictures. Here's a question for you: did you work the scenes or are these just "one shot and walk away?" This is what I am referring to at the "800 junk" thread.

    Thanks, Ben.

    As for working the scene, these were all different. I had been working the possibilities of the guy sleeping in #1 when I noticed the guy with the hat and umbrella approaching. I had to run a bit to get myself in position, then I took three or four shots as he walked through the scene. So yeah, this one was definitely working the scene. #2 was a static scene, so it was a simple matter of getting in position and framing the shot. One shot and I was done. #3 was a stand-around-and-wait shot. I took a number of shots with different people coming out of the shop with ice cream cones and this one was my favorite. There wasn't a better angle because of background issues and because the chain was essential.
