...waiting for the Pope by cocobella

...waiting for the Pope

Pope Benoit 16, Benedict, Benedetto (call him as you want)..was in Milan, we saw a lot of people waiting for him in front of the cathedral, these 2 couples caught my eyes...
The policemen, because they were relaxing and looking at the people walking, especially the women...
The fashionista in green with her Louis Vuitton bag and her golden shoes was a little overdressed to see the Pope...or not enough for the Milan fashion week (may be ...)
Great captures! Interesting police uniforms with the white.

That what I like about street photography, you see all sorts!!

I love street photography; these photos tell a story...did you get to see the Pope and how long did you wait?
June 8th, 2012  
Love how you put the two together, they kind of make up one scene.

@marieooi @shanne thanks a lot Marie and Shanne ;)
@bdb3471 I agree, it is so surprising to catch some pieces of others life....
@flanners we saw it the day after just in front of the Scala, he was in is car but the window opened and he took his time to greet us with a smile . As I really want a memory of that moment I took a film and not a picture, I was just 20 meters from him, and I just wait 15 minutes....I was happy :)
@sugarmuser thanks a lot Sharon, they were waiting for the same thing...in different way, but both casualness...

Great captures - all, Corinne! Wonderful candids of the policemen and is that really a woman? LOL! It looks like a guy to me!

Great crowd shots. Did you get to see the Pope?

@marlboromaam thanks a lot Maggie, I understand it is may be because of the tattoo on the shoulder and she had a ponytail (looks like short hair ), I have another pic of her profile, over maked up!!!! I really admire those kind of people who dare doing what they want without thinking/caring of being ridiculous ...life is too short to have regrets !

@cocobella I've seen an awful lot of men that dress up in women's clothes. LOL! They don't have the feminine curves like a woman does. This gal in your shot must have an athletic build.
June 8th, 2012  
@marlboromaam men dressed like women.it ...is quite unusual !! I've seen some too.... but yes you're right that one was athletic...her silhouette fits with the shoes !!!
June 8th, 2012  
Haha... the police are so typical... hanging out instead of standing at attention. lol

@aspada "Dolce vita" for everybody !!! ;))
June 8th, 2012  
Oui, tout le monde attend!

Couple of fun shots in one there! I always wondered what a Louis Vuitton bag looked like.
June 9th, 2012  
@cocobella Well done! Glad it was worth the wait.

@copperheadglass to see the Pope wasn't the purpose of the journey but we saw him... it was a surprise a sort of cherry on the cake !

@ulpiphotos absolument !!!! :)

@ellida next lessons : Hermes bag ! ;)

@flanners thanksSarah, yes it was :)
June 9th, 2012  
what interesting characters you have captured :)
June 9th, 2012  
@grace2012 in fact I had the choice, people are very "eccentric" there i think... love that !
June 9th, 2012  
Such interesting people in the waiting audience! Well spotted! Great candid shots. 8)

Before reading your blurb, I thought you were going to say the one in green was a man. They don't look too feminine to me and the outfit is horrid.
