when in Rome

Comment by roz:
when we capture a person .. stop action .. talking .. it can be very unattractive .. the mouth distorted ..
if it was a video .. another matter entirely .. its natural .. and flowing ..
they say the camera never lies .. but i feel it does all the time ..
catching moments that werent meant to be caught ..
he actually looks like he's mid yawn .. or trying not to yawn .. !! ..
i do like the setting and the person half in and half out of the frame ..

a real statement .. the guy with shoes that have seen better days .. as has he .. his torn clothing ..
and the car .. clean and pristine ..
jump back ten years possibly .. and that guy could have been someone with a car much like that one .. living comfortably and eating regular with nice clothes ..
its never helpful or even right to judge a person on their external appearance .. we never know how they got to the place we see them in ..
its pretty unfortunate that he may not be having the dish of the day .. or any dish on that day ..

very interesting .. i'm listening to spotify while i'm looking at your pics .. and a song just came on and it sounded a bit french .. which would have been amazingly fitting .. so i googled it ..
i think he was singing in bosnian .!!. in amongst the english .. . got that wrong .!!.
was very chill .. i wouldnt rave about it .. Ludvig & Stelar "Relax" ..
i'm liking the little vignette of the men sitting having their lunch .. oblivious of the photographer in their midst .. !! . :)

i love that you seem almost invisible to the guy .. i also like that i can see your shadow .. the creator of the photo .. and the reflection in the window ..
he must be extremely taken with what he's reading to not notice you ..
he's a high reader .. lol .. my arms would get tired holding my reading matter up like that for any length of time ..
altho if its a menu i doubt he would be reading for long ... :)

Comment by roz:
i'm really sorry but that statue i find quite ugly .. especially his beard which reminds me of something(s) that usually dont see the light of day in polite society .. sorry Mariuca .. considering i like about 99% of what you do .. the occasional one that doesnt do it for me .. i reckon is doing very well .. :)

Comment by digifotojo:
Another good character study, she has her hands full and a serious look on her face. Life goes on.

Comment by digifotojo:
Very well captured! Definitely a unique style, she brings a bit of solitude to an otherwise busy environment.

Yes, good title. The grafitti and the guy go together well (he's probably a business owner). ;-)

Now there's a character for you, he looks like a homeless guy. Wonder whose car that is.
