pink feathers

the peter forsgard's 52 assignments for this week is 'classic street photography'.

i don't profess to know what it means exactly. however, as this weekend was the caribbean festival in toronto, i had a chance to do some street photography. everywhere i went downtown yesterday, there were these people who were in all forms of semi-undress or almost undress in big feathers, lots of glittering sequins and bling. there were a couple of groups converged just outside the subway entrance and i had asked if i may take a picture, to which they readily posed with gusto. but i have chosen to post this here as this one is a candid shot, just when i was walking away.

i like the women's competing colours with the orange and black traffic barrell, the two women's contrast with each other: the older and heavier woman on the left and the younger and leaner woman on the right. and then there's the nonchalant body language of the man, a mere spectator.
I believe she sees you. That's one big fanny pack.

@lesip - the fanny pack is very small, it just looked big against the ah....er...bling!

Love the colour contrasts, body language differences and that it feels I'm there.

I've just realised that I used to work in the building behind them! That was a long, long time ago mind you.

Interesting comparisons, obviously no body image issues here.

just love the contrast between the two women - I smiled at the man's nonchalant look too.
