Haha cool. Did he have the same sign? It's an Expensify ad on the backside if I remember correctly.

Camping there for ages while people awkwardly tried to duck out of the shot until someone walked by that didn't care

It represents the dehumanizing aspect of the city which only seems clear at a distance but in the individual tends to blur the person's *FFFFAAAAAARRRRRRTTTTT*

Always dig your work thetzar. In my mind that man has just spotted a grand piano about to fall onto his head. It is too late; he has accepted his fate.

My office is in the front room of a run-down 12 megapixel sensor but the rent suits me and the landlord doesn't ask many questions.

The reason I posted them here in the street thread, and the reason I didn't point my camera up is because I'm trying to get across a feeling of being on a street.

I've often found myself walking somewhere, and whether it's because I'm anxious, or tired, or because someone spooked me by looking threatening I'll walk with my eyes down, and avoid making eye contact with anyone I come across. I'll actually fear making eye contact with someone, in case they're a threat, or in case they see my fear, madness, or desperation; that they'll see I'm vulnerable. It's trying to get across the avoidance someone takes when they're perturbed by the street, or feel like it's closing in, or there's ages to go to their destination and they feel isolated and exposed. In that way I'm hoping to get across a Street Photography vibe. I'm hoping there's a suggestion of people, and avoiding contact, even if no people feature.

This is the first two days of shooting on it. I'm planning on taking it further. I just wanted to see if the images were working at all.
