Awesome. I'd recognize this as yours after your recent series of portfolio abstracts. Congrats on your top ten.

I'm trying to figure out what's distinctive about your photos (not including subjects or composition). There's an "open" quality. Something about the light and/or color. Maybe you slightly desaturate where others are tempted to increase color? Anyway, it works very well.

I like how the posters of the women look into the photo and create a kind of symmetrical framing device. "Zero" seems to be a commentary on something. The b&w works well.

You may feel invisible sometimes, but children see all! :-)

I love old barber shops -- and the shaving is classic!

Whoa, interesting tableau! She looks like she's hoping the man behind her will stop talking, an impression heightened by the wary look of the teenager.

Classic Germaine motion catch! Love the hungry whale.

The colorful balloons in the background make a nice visual echo to the letters in front, and the father and son illustrate "love" so nicely.

Good job on the b&w -- and you managed to control the exposure despite the strong sunlight on their faces.

Sometimes in that situation (after sizing up the subjects, of course), I'll show them the photo display and say something truthful like "I hope you don't mind, I'm practicing my street photography and you seemed like an interesting subject" (or whatever the case may be). I've offered to email people any photos, too, and have done so a few times.

Good, colorful subjects for a candid! I like the color saturation though I think the skin tones are too red on the woman at the left.

For me this evokes a feeling of isolation and possibly unease. I like the darkness.
