Congrats on the blue, Lev.
I have to agree with this Originally posted by tnun:
it gets better and better, the more I look. (controversy serves). |
Certainly the more I look the more I appreciate it. |

| Congrats on the blue ribbon! Was always a 10 from me and deserved the ribbon. This could have easily been a scene from a movie.... |

Which of you know the back story?
These two women may have been school teachers in an urban area for impoverished children, devoting their life times to teaching acceptance, inclusion, tolerance and love. They may have worked 3 jobs other than their teaching positions in order to be able to afford the time after their retirements to sit outside and make bubbles for the neighborhood kids. They may be suffering from particular diseases that have created the swelling in their ankles that render them incapable of walking without great difficulty. Conditions that create constant pain. Conditions they have no control over that create water retention and swelling. They may have met each other sitting in a doctor's office and have decided to support each other in times of need. WAIT! That's not these women. That would have been MY neighbors, who remind of these women. They remind me exactly of the two loving souls who ended their lives as shut ins because they were too frightened to leave their houses to become objects of ridicule and criticism by people like you.
The only indictment I see here is the one that you have all made of your true spirits exposing yourselves for the types of people you are. |

Brilliant shot! I've lived in PB for 13 years and have yet to come close to shooting something as delightfully engaging as this, here or anywhere. Bravo!

First impressions go a long way. Right or wrong, they count for something.

It's a fantastic image Lev. I didn't have you pegged as blue, but you were in my top three. Looking through Winogrand's work, this definitely fit his style. |

| This is an absolutely amazing picture... quite fantastic. the stories being told, the specifics that are found.... a slight tilt reminiscent of some of Garry's work, but carefree as well. Congratulations on the Double Blue, you've earned it! |

| Terrific shot. It was my second pick but deserved the blue, for the sheer starkness of the scene. Doesn't get any better than this. Congrats on the blue, Lev! Would have been funny if this beat your film noir PB :-). Each excellent in their own genre! |

If it hadn't been black & white I'd have picked it for a Martin Parr photograph. That's a good thing because Martin Parr is a whole lot more interesting than Garry Winogrand.
This is really a very funny, savage indictment of a certain prominent wedge of modern western life (I'd say American life, but you'd like my comment even less if I did). The obesity to the point of immobility; the silly, pampered, yapping dogs; the dreadfully tacky sunshades; the truly awful Disney World school of architecture … all wrapped up in a fountain of flaccid-looking bubbles cascading towards a bewildered kid who himself appears to be already on the road to double-wide pants. It's a scarcely credible celebration of gross indulgence and delusion.
Even if you took a kinder view than I, it's still a good street photograph on a superficial level. 9. Thank you. |

| This is one of the most entertaining scenes I've seen in ages. Heart antennas, bubbles littering the sky, flotsam on the ground, a tot interested but not overly so, a multi-dogged woman, TWO rascals... and another thing, she says. It's a slice of magic here. You've seen it well, timed it perfectly, and thanks a lot. |

| Oh, priceless. The dog in the basket takes the cake (is that all the same dog??) Well, not just that dog, but also the one being cuddled. And the kid with the pacifier. And the glop of all those bubbles on the sidewalk. Amazing. Really. |
