wonderful colour and detail.

Very touching and great lighting

I love your "white&black".

Thank you very much DarcoTT and Arne.

Beautiful.

So quiet, so peaceful.. almost surreal ;-)
Very good work.

peaceful..

Have you been harassing Santa Clause again??

superbe b&w, et un j'aime ce I Love NYC et ce personnage qui me fait penser a un marin.

Nice catch.

I'm guessing you used a telephoto lens for this. My only criticism is that the front to back compression seems unnatural.

At the same time, when you're on the street you have to shoot what happens... and I'm glad you did.

Willie, this was shot with a 100mm prime lens, the only one I have that is fast enough to do night street shooting without having to push it. All I did was crop a hair off of the left side. Thanks.

Thanks Ana. :)

Wow ! Great fun for you too, Tracy :)
Excellent, as usual.

Just an additional comment to make this pic coming back on the front page ;-)
I definitely love it, love the light and colors. And moreover Tracy, I appreciate so much your sensitiveness, and the particular way you make every kind of people beautiful.

Martine, that is such a nice comment. The interesting thing for me is that I didn't realize that sensitivity until people started pointing it out to me in comments. I continue to try and shoot everything but it is when I go through my images later that I decide what works and what doesn't, so both Mark and I try to make sure that our images show the humanity and the dignity that everyone deserves. It is a big discussion point for us along with so many other things in photography. :-)

A winner on all the sites Tracy! This should be a feature pretty quickly ;)

Scott, this was the first in the series, he is trying to et her to 'come hither'

:)

Yes I seen most of the series when it was in screening on.....(whispers) "the other site".... but I liked this one the best, the look on their faces is excellent. Brings make memories of dating that special someone.

Perfect! Well deserved feature...such great feelings come from this! Did they know you were taking their picture?

Sweet!

YES !!
That's excellent, how do you do... ? It seems you are always at the right place, at the right moment.

lol I just realize that "how do you do" has a different meaning in English than in French.
My question was rather : How do you manage to produce all your street pics ?
By the way, I also hope you are fine, Tracy. :-))

I understood Martine, hailing from Quebec I am used to interpreting people trying to speak English if I couldn't understand what they were saying in French. :)

How do I do it? I have a really good partner and competitor in Mark, if I go out shooting alone I am not nearly as brave as I am when I am with him. And I shoot a lot of frames, too many more often than not. I am fine thank you, it is hard to keep up with all the photoblogs so I don't spend as much time around vazaar as I used to.

This really is fantastic. The lighting is spot on.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

@Beamer - :D

Superb photo. My congratulations.

If you are selling prints I am in the line too :)

How much You'll sell this one... 30x40 cm., on matte paper

waves of waves !!

Very nice Tracy. I like the lighting on the foreground wood but I find it a bit off on the stairs. But overall it's a very nice image.

like the deep shadows on this. the stairs makes me wonder where it leads to.

Great photography - such a mystery and so many stange signs everywhere..

Nice silhouette work!

Very cool image - makes me think of Japanese Ink and wash painting !

I hope that's just bait. Otherwise it's a pretty unimpressive catch, hah.

Great tones in this one, BTW.

Just bait. :)

Thanks.
