Partially Obscuredby
markwileyComment by ubique: This is such a preposterously good street photograph that I hardly know what to say. It's good enough to be
anybody's, there'd be no street photographer no matter how celebrated who wouldn't love to lay claim to it.
I'm near certain it's British, and I'd have called it Ed Clarke's except he's long gone. It's got that Leica look to it though, and one thing I'm sure of, it was no accident ... this photograph reached out and chose you, rather than the other way around. By that I mean that you can't realistically go looking for a moment like this, but if you're good enough it will look for you, and give you no choice in the matter.
And you are quite obviously good enough, so thank you for that; have a 10, and this Order of the Thumb as a handy doorstop.
ETA: A little googlebird tells me you and René must be in Chicago and not Britain, so I can't think who you are. But the lady in the glasses simply has to be a British visitor to the Windy City. She's right out of Monty Python. Anyway, I'm glad I guessed the location wrong, because it gave me another session of appreciating your photograph. Still fabulous, thanks.
