The View From The Bench #2

Another shot from the bench earlier in the week. Just thought I'd put it up as I'm sitting around with my laptop when I should be working but can't be bothered to do anything except 365 for the time being!
Oh!!! I love the three sitting on the fountain! I love the grandparent with the kids - I can just hear him filling the ears of the boys with stories from his past :-) The guy eating the sandwich is humorous to me for some reason? And the man, walking with possibly his daughter......brings back memories! All together Richard - this is a favorite for me!

@deesdiscoveries I think the guy is holding a camera not a sandwich!
October 29th, 2010  
oh wow. this is great. so much happening in one millisecond. faved.
October 29th, 2010  
@deesdiscoveries Im an idiot - LOL. Ok, the guy holding the camera is humorous to me!
October 29th, 2010  
@deesdiscoveries I tell you what, he's even more humorous to me now as I can't stop thinking he's going to take a bite out of his camera!

What a great photo. There are so many elements that make this fantastic. People could try staging this scene and not do it as well so great capture!

Your black and white work is really beautiful. The tones are amazing. You really should capture all the "bench" work into one collection. Either a dedicated website or book.

This is wonderful! What a moment! Love the three on the fountain! And the buildings in the background! The camera guy is looking for a photo op - he should turn around! Love this!

I love street shots. I think I'm too timid to try them yet....

I love how many stories there are in just one picture.
October 29th, 2010  
Great shot again. Looks like a vintage b&w. Just excellent. Agree with the bench series book. Nicely done. (By the way it does look like something to eat by the way he is holding his camera. Too funny and again the charm of this photo!)
