These things really do strike the most interesting poses, don't they?

This is very interesting to look at. Feels like part of a larger gallery series. I'd have never guessed a self-portrait, and that's to the image's credit. :-)

Not every day. But this particular bridge camera I tend to take with me often just to have it handy for these sorts of spontaneous captures. The glass isn't the best on it, but the color is good and the zoom range is the best of all my equipment at present.

Chef's-kiss perfect timing. I'd love to spend an hour inside your head in the city seeing it through those eyes... :-)

Very nice timing and composition. The processing and color grading makes it feel almost archival, too. Which elevates it for me.

Never To Cold For Ice Cream

Fair enough, my friend. :-)

Remembering we have an international audience I should probably clarify: What I was hoping to convey with that tongue-in-cheek title is that this image really captures the childlike joy of the ice cream truck with its bright colors and tantalizing pleasures. I don't know that anyone ever outgrows that--and I think Parr would have been tickled by this sight.

Congrats on a well-earned ribbon!

The Now-Empty Seat

This almost has a quietly compelling, almost bittersweet quality to it. Whether intentional or not, my first thought upon viewing it was--is the pet deceased now? That's a sign of effective art.
