artist challenge #53 - in the style of vivian maier

when i saw this maier photograph, i knew where to go for a photo opp. not exactly the same but close, methinks. i have a few candid shots, too, of people, but i'm in love with this particular photograph of hers: http://www.vivianmaier.com/ gotta case the joint some more.

it being saturday, there was a lot of people so gotta come back and get an improved perspective in the p.m. so i don't get a lot of nasty looks. this is, of course, the st. lawrence market, west side looking south.

taken in black and white and used one of those funky monochrome effects in ribbet (i think it's either fiji or morocco).

thank you for your kind visits and comments; i shall catch up with yours starting tonight.
Love the vintage feel of this! Perfect for the challenge!

Mabuhay, Summerfield! I'm your get-pushed partner for this week. I really enjoyed looking through your album and seeing your variety of photos. My challenge for you is minimalism. Hope that works for you. If you'd rather something more techie, let me know. :o)
