Tel Aviv - street stuff. Stories and Pictures [6]

rundadar

as usual, negative/positive C&C is welcome and appreciated.

#1 "Old. New."

A good example of eclectic nature of Tel Aviv - this is an old Colonial Style building (from the English Mandate times) near the sea. After many reincarnations, it's now home to a bicycle/surfing shop.

#2 "Bad area"

Taken in the less-than-glamorous are of Tel Aviv, which until recently used to be populated by "Massage Parlors" and their clients.
Nowadays, it's a bit cleaner and the parlors are almost entirely gone. Still the spirit (pun intended) remains.

(Incidentally, a few really old (and very good and colourful) second hand photo shops are in this area.)

#3 "Let me in!"

I don't know what the little dog intended to do in the laundromat. But it was 'open', so the dog wanted in. Some people are like that too...

#4 "Something doesn't add up"



I'll let you solve this puzzle


#5 " Evening Pastorallia"



no comments (from me) here. I wonder if the focus on flowers works (I am not sure myself)


#6 "Too much."



This is a portrait of an old crutched man inside the internet cafe kind of place. It's a very sad picture for me. The signs scream: "Copy! Fax! Mail! Coffee! Email!". I think, all this stuff is just too much for the old man.

P.S. I have posted this last one before - haven't gotten much comments (one - negative). I've decided to re-post the shot anyway.


Thank you very much for looking.

Quite a varied collection of photos - at least technically speaking. The little dog is my favorite, very strong diagonal line from that leash, placed perfectly, really draws me into the photo.

nice work, thanks for sharing

Erik,

Cheers,

I really like the color and the contrasting "time" in the first one . Just like you said, the Old and the New. Very nice.

Thanks, eh

The #1 shot is a bit of an odd bird / novelty for me, really. I don't usually like shooting buildings, especially the cheery, brightly coloured ones (preferring good ol' urban decay, instead). The decaying 'top part' of that building helped, though

even the top half by itself would be a neat shot-

I have to say the photo with the dog is very good. One note - when you shoot that wide it may pay to correct some of the verticals later on in post processing with a skew tool.
