This is just too cool. The three elements - cyclist, walker, and car are just fascinating to me - all facing the viewer directly. Love the contrast and the composition.
This reminds me of the Three Colors movie trilogy - Blue, White, and Red. There are several threads running from movie to movie and one involves women throwing away a bottle. Each represents a different stage of life. Here we have the young girl on a bicycle, an older person in the car, most likely impatient with the elderly woman walking. Simply fantastic street photography.
This has a great story to it, you really wonder about the mask and how odd it is to see her wearing that and riding at the same time. I do wish it were a bit sharper as it seems a bit blurry, a nice pic as is though.
A magnificant photo in disguise. Slightly blurred, but very deep (feeling wise). Three different stories come together as one: the person on the bike, the lady walking and the person in the car (separate, but brought together by the common path).
What an interesting piece of photojournalism. The bike rider with the mask on strikes you with the unexpected. But the downcast person walking in front of the car. You just wonder what is going on with that person. I can see this in a Life magazine feature. It is really great!
The person on the bicycle is interesting and bright especially against the backdrop of the fellow in the background that seems to be trudging up the hill.
I guess it's an Asian thing???
Here in NYC you'll often see at least one person wearing a mask in Chinatown. I thought protection from SARS/Bird Flu but who knows.
Nice shot.
