thanks!

it took a few tries to get used to it, but i just asked if i could take their pictures. i got very few negative responses, most people were excited. i would talk to them and try to get to know them a little bit, especially the couples. it's really fun to watch the response of a young couple when asked if they are in love. :sweet

I think the guy with the hot dog stand and also the last image are really well done.
The harsh/rough look of the hot dog stand, and the gentlenss of the light in the last shot make them both work very well with the subjects.

I really like 2, 9, and 10 (though I may be biased because of the very good-looking subjects in the latter two!). #2 has a vintagey 70s feel to it--something timeless and classic. It's her scarf in combination with your processing. I really, really like it. In all seriousness, I love the compositions on 9 and 10, especially the addition of those striking cabinets (?) in 10 that lead to your subject. Wonderful conversions on both of these as well. Thank you for sharing!

thanks kerry! i'm really glad you feel that way about #10, those are mailboxes and with the wide angle lens thats exactly what i was going for.
i really appreciate it!

Very cool! I really like these... I would like to see more emotion, but I still really enjoy them!

Nicely done!

Moni

I really like the range of tones you got in the b + w pics.
They are really compelling!

The girl in #2 looks like Ellen Page.
And I'm glad someone else said it too...#10 is hot!
