These guys were laughing it up at their passed out friend, to the right. The one guy is showing a pal coming their way the sleeping beauty.

Shooting people in doorways, under awnings or anywhere recessed from the bright daylight light looks great. Instead of the light showering down it get's diffused and reflected from everything to the side. I think Manny Librodo probably does it a lot for his street portrait work .

This is quite the candid shot! What makes it for me is the the natural smiles, and of course the guy snoozing. I like how you kept the background in focus to give the viewer a lot of interesting details to look at.

great scene here Steve. I follow the smiling faces to the man sleeping. I'll confirm your assumption about Manny's natural light work in recesses and awnings of buildings. Of course sometimes he just shoots out in the sun, I think his camera is magic sometimes. :P

Lol, very funny and a nice candid shot. It's funny to see them laughing it up at the expense of their sleepy buddy, proof that age can't keep the human spirit down, well done.

Something about this shot feels so comfortable. Maybe is the smiles on the persons faces. Or maybe its the guy on the right who seems to be dozing off. Or maybe its the everyday stuff stacked behind the persons.

Another one of your incredible street shots. This is a moment captured forever. Wonder if they would enjoy a copy of this image.

I'd love to know what they are all smiling at. They look as though they have seen something in the street that is funny. Really great street scene.

Something poetic, maybe because they are all laughing (except the guy sleeping). Good street scene.

Oh this is so awesome. I am wondering what has got them so delighted. They are really enjoying themselves. That poor guy on the end tho. I think he should have stayed home for this one, he doesn't look like he's doing too good.

What a beautiful slice of life. I agree with Deb. Go take some more of them, okay?

I love this. You need to revisit these guys on occasion and keep shooting them.

Gotta be one of my favorite photos on this site! The little guy on the end sleeping in his own little world. These guys look like they probably sit around in this same spot day after day sharing stories.

A great bw conversion!
