 The Wall! Again!! Taken after work.

The building reflected in the window is the building where I work. It's actually very well maintained, and that crooked roof is from distortion in the reflection. The guy with the gray hair in the reflection is one of my bosses. He's also a terrific photographer and we "talk shop" a lot. This is also an inadvertent self-portrait -- the person in the lower left of the window is moi. I didn't realize I'd done this until I got to processing the shot.

Shot and converted to B&W in RAW. Tweaked in CS3.

You should try googling "East De La Guerra Street" your number 3. :)
FWIW I knew the city before I did it. I went to school about 100 miles up 101 from there. :)

I like the reflection of your building in the window along with you and your boss. The light has a very balanced shadow today. Love the patterns here.

Great choice with the b&w. I like how oblivious the lady walking is to having her picture taken. Neat how you captured so many elements of your own life in the reflection.

I was about to ask if that was you in the picture! I like how it looks like that woman is frozen in time.

Keep shooting this wall! Nice composition and wonderful reflection in the window. Think this also looks very nice if you make the wall almost white. You loose the nice lamp light, but you get a great contrast.

It's great to have this series of shots in the same location. We get a real sense of what your world is like - at least at work on your way to the parking lot. I like that each shot includes different individuals (or parts of them). It's also interesting to note what changes in each shot like the shadows on the wall and the location of the tree and the window.

I know that wall... :o)

Very nice shot. Her outfit really adds to the feel of the photo. Love all the elements in it.
