Stuff you didn't know you needed! by northy

Stuff you didn't know you needed!

It was bothering me that i didn't have a photo for this week's Street Photography Now challenge which happens to be: "Look for clashing colours - the more lurid the better."

http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/15162/street-photography-now-week-31

Then it occurred to me - Honest Eds!!!! There is no more lurid garish storefront imaginable! As I had the day off it was easy enough to get out there and take a few shots :)

Thank you for all the kind comments and feedback on my Christmas card shot... I'm still not happy with it, but not sure i have much of a chance of improving on it...
Yup, pretty garish...and the fella with all his colors blends right in!

Great garish oranges and pinks and more besides,

And yet, a very nice sympathetic capture of the gentleman with the red walker and the fatigue green jacket.

Honest Ed's could be a major outing for this man--probable the best entertainment on the block. Nice capture.

I wonder just how many 365ers were feeling "bothered" at not having an SPN entry?! Yours is divine!

Honest Ed's is awesome....haven't been in years....I remember when he passed away (sometime in last 5 yrs I think it was) and the line ups to pay him tribute!

@wardie interesting... this is one street shot that i had thought of as being better for the colour... maybe i'll play around with it in nik sfx to see... i do wonder, however, whether there isn't enough contrast to make it work?

The blue and yellow hat doesn't look too bad with all the reds and pinks!
