Jump or Push by graemestevens

Jump or Push

I do not go into town.
I find that the jostling, pushing, shoving and crowding is not conducive to the inner peace for which I strive. Instead I end up wanting to take a piece off someones body, sit in a darkened corner and gnaw on the bones.

This is for the ONS7 challenge where today's theme is "Street".
Pretty amazing shot. Dipping sauce?

Love the pov. I have been wanting to da a shot like this for ages. Nice work.

Oooooooo I LOVE this! Creepy commentary to match this deliciously atmospheric shot.fav!

@bigugly @spanner @mzzhope thanks all, appreciated as always

@bigugly I prefer my bones, and the meat on them, as is rather than tarnished with sauce...I like to savour the flavour...

Nice street shot... Interesting pov... Years ago I worked w someone who carried a briefcase for the sole purpose of smashing it against people's legs in the crowded subway... She found it cathartic and could always pretend it was entirely accidental ;)

Interesting pov, looks fun to try.
Commentary and comments make it a fav

nicely done! I don't appreciate "street hustle" either, so I am not sure my ons will be 'street' or 'of a street'.....

Fabulous street capture
April 19th, 2014  
well, that's one way to deal with people.. except most of them are full of unnatural additives yuk make sure you stick to the free range ones for gnawing purposes ..

I know that feeling only too well, watch out when I've had it, angle one shoulder and drop it into the next one who walks into me! Didn't play active sport for nothing. Love the shot, the perspective is quite exciting and lends a real sense of 'hurry-scurry' to the madding crowd, plus the distanciation of the observer.

Too funny ..... First off - Great shot very trippy cool! Secondly - make sure you have a toothpick on you ...they can be a little chewy lol :)

Captures that 'impersonalisation' of the city perfectly.
Just noticed the circular shapes formed by the people - maybe cell (hive) shapes?!.

@wearing0 thank you very much, appreciated
April 19th, 2014  
Nicely done... Fav! I can't stand crowds either... people have no regard for one another!
April 19th, 2014  
@gazbadger thank you very much. I detest crowds for that very reason, if I wanted to be pushed I'd be sitting on a swing.
April 19th, 2014  
I like the pov and there's a great sense of movement - it does have a busy, bustling feel about it.
April 19th, 2014  
Really a cool capture
April 19th, 2014

Fav. I absolutely love this shot and I love your commentary. How many people were injured in order to take this photo?
April 23rd, 2014  
@rachelwithey thanks very much...and in answer to your question is it wrong to say "not enough"? ;)
April 23rd, 2014  
It has an apocalyptic feel.
April 24th, 2014  
@yaorenliu thanks - if I had been forced to stay in town any longer it would have gone beyond just a feeling!
