4 Way Stop by kwind

4 Way Stop

This is for the One Night Stand Challenge - Street. This was HARD for me. People don't take pictures of random strangers in my small town... they just might call the cops. I was determined to do something out of my comfort zone so I headed to the somewhat seedy part of town. I remembered this mural on the bowling alley wall and thought maybe I could make it work. I was hoping someone would walk by but no such luck. I honestly would have taken their photo (despite how uncomfortable it would have made me) if someone wandered into the frame. I did catch a moving vehicle in the distance so that's the only human caught digitally. I must say, at least four cars drove by and I held my crouched position (I'm sure they thought I was bonkers!!) and said to myself, "I'm a 365er... I can do this!!"

Here's another shot from today I'd like to share with you...

Yay for you Kim!! this is a terrific pov and I don't believe you need people in a street shot, this has a very urban feel.
