Relish Summer in the City! by ukandie1

Relish Summer in the City!

We are a hardy lot here in Chicago, but stands like this are only open in the months when it is not freezing. I have to admit I am not a big hot dog fan, but many in Chicago are and they are very particular about their hot dogs, Vienna Beef links are made in the Chicago area and on a Chicago dog you never add ketchup!

Today was the first day in a while that I headed out with my camera for no other reason than to take pictures, took a bunch of shots, but it is late so I went with an easy slice of life street shot!
Beef, beef, beef! :) Heading off to bed, but I just adore the parallels between the buyer on the left and the side portrait of the seller on the right. Nice!

Great candid shot! You have such a good eye for this kind of shot! I had my first Chicago Hot Dog at Wrigley Field and loved it! Only mustard of course! That made me laugh - such a funny tradition! Fav!

awesome shot - love the two people in their own window with the different views of them

Happily, recording the scene is not injurious to the hips and waistline like the product itself obviously is! Nicely observed, as usual.

The b&w makes this such a relatively timeless shot. Looks as if it could have shot in the 1940s.

For this Mainer it has to be Schonland dogs - mustard and relish. Some of our truck vendors are open all year long. But we have a lot of stands that are only open in the summer.

This is a lovely capture. The framing of the two ladies within their separate windows is quite interesting.

Lovely composition. As Lynda said, I like the framing of the women
