An odd scene... by maggiemae

An odd scene...

A street photo evolved in front of me but I was behind glass in a cafe enjoying a beautiful cappuccino. It was a case of quick snapping and hopefully focusing.
Three good things:
1 Disappointed I didn’t get the whole giraffe in this but I like the shot. A school girl with an odd back back - the giraffe doesn’t have a broken neck!…Really!
2. A cold day travelling to a medical appointment down the road but its all good - just have to keep working on my 200 exercises/day!
3. A pub meal - ordinary NZ pub but a good steak, ordered, “blue’ as we like it!
That is crazy,I love it!

Don't you just love a street scene, my favourite genre!

@happypat I very seldom want to shoot a street scene, Pat! All the people in this town are either obese or really odd looking! (except in my house!)

@maggiemae Ha ha I love a street scene, the odder the better!

@alophoto It looks a bit like that but we were in the shade and behind glass - don't think he minded though!

A cool street shot

I can honestly say I have never seen a giraffe as part of a street scene before. Quick thinking resulted in a terrific shot

@grammyn That poor giraffe's neck lolled about all over the place when she walked - quite startling!

Great job to get the shot as well as you did. What a hoot.

A fabulous shot and great narrative. It always amuses me when I read them on friends' posts too ;-)

This is really good - well done on capturing this!

great street capture...must be a story there ..

Great find and shot. Some people will do anything to look original. I would not spend a morning carrying that thing (giraffe) on my shoulders.
August 8th, 2018  
Terrific shot!
August 8th, 2018  
Awesome shot

Nice to find you are still posting on 365. I do love your pics and commentary. Do you save all these as they would make a wonderful diary record of your world.

that's one great street photography you captured here, maggiemae. love the faces of the boys! and that giraffe, it really is the star of the show, no matter that its head was cut off a bit! aces!
August 8th, 2018  
@snaphappi Yes - all saved. Makes a great diary with pictures really! Though I do keep a diary but sometimes forget to use it and have to go to my pictures to remember!
August 8th, 2018  
great street shot
August 8th, 2018  
Very funny! Doesn't everyone carry a giraffe on their back? Haha! Looks like you were spotted by two of the boys in the photo. Busted! :)
