I go by these crossing guards a couple of times a week and thought they would be a good subject for my new goal of taking more photos of people. I got there just as they were finishing up for the day!
@marilyn Thanks so much. I was in my car parked at the corner they usually work and almost missed them because of my timing so was really glad to get them both in one shot!
On reading the comments, perhaps they're cross (i.e.angry) guards as well as crossing ones Katy :-) lovely work on this - the B&W really works.i think the road on the left hand side is a lovely feature.
@jennwearing LOL! You are way too kind in you assessment of the shot and spot on with your evaluation of the guards. Funny you should pickup on the "cross" part. My grandmother used to say that all the time and my children thought it was such an old fashioned expression.
I have a goal of more people too. It's hard to break the habit of NOT photographing people. And so I find I still look to scenery, but I have a few very interesting people shots from Washington DC trip with Anne that i'll post soon. This is nicely done and the B&W is a nice touch.
