Posted by Tanja at January 25, 2010 01:45 AMI love this photo! This is the first time I've commented on your blog but I've been loving it for a little while now.
Posted by An Affair With Fashion at January 25, 2010 03:18 AMIt looks like an scene from a movieā¦
I find it somehow very different to what you usually do, but it's awesome, as always!
Were the black bars imposed to create the sense of a movie scene? Or is there some other purpose I'm missing?
Posted by Pierce at January 25, 2010 04:01 AMalmost feel the atmosphere: BRAAAAIIIIIINSSS...
i think their faces are missing....
looks like a movie still! awesome!
Posted by helen at January 25, 2010 04:05 AMI like the forlorn atmosphere!
Posted by Vincent at January 25, 2010 04:11 AMLove it. Very cinematic. Great colours, great lighting. Thanks for posting every day - I don't know how you do it!
Posted by Fiona at January 25, 2010 08:16 AMFantastic! Depth of field, perspective, balance, plus multiple interpretations and potential stories, this photo has it all.
Posted by David at January 25, 2010 08:52 AMThis shot has a very cinematic feel to it, as if a screenshot was lifted right off a reel.
Posted by Mat at January 25, 2010 09:52 AMI like this one, it's cool, in a retro sort of way.
Posted by Kimberly Way at January 25, 2010 10:09 AMCreepy .... and cool!
Posted by Kevin at January 25, 2010 10:31 AMThe letterbox gives it a HBO / Showtime feel.
Posted by Clarence Johnson at January 25, 2010 10:45 AMYou seem to be into the backs of folks heads lately. It certainly puts an unusual perspective on things. I like this for the patterns/forms and color contrasts.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at January 25, 2010 11:25 AMI seldom comment on your photos but enjoy them on a daily basis, this one is very special.
Posted by maarten at January 25, 2010 11:42 AMThis photo has me feeling like I am breathing down the neck of the gentleman.
Posted by wine of the month club at January 25, 2010 11:54 AMMany different tales spinning in my head about this one. Love it. You should call it necking...
Posted by Kim at January 25, 2010 12:46 PMreminds me of an edward hopper painting - very lonely.
Posted by carla at January 25, 2010 02:28 PMAs a few people have said, I'm a regular on your site and have never commented. This photo deserves my first comment here.
Posted by connar at January 25, 2010 05:02 PMLove it!
Posted by Afra at January 25, 2010 09:21 PMMy comment is redundant, but I felt I had to add my voice to the others. This is terrific, and quite different from what you usually put up on tlp. I love your other work too - but this cinematic photo is something altogether different in magnitude of effect, in the sort of thought and imagination it evokes. It seems to me anyway more immediate and full of motion. It looks like the girl is about to turn around, maybe in a coquettish way, maybe in an ambivalent one, maybe in an indifferent one, and meet or not meet the gaze of the guy looking diffidently at the floor and sneaking occasional looks at her...
Great stuff! Thank you very much.
Sam,
This is fantastic~!!! I wonder what he's reading and what she's reading. It almost feels like there will be someone coming into the frame soon to break the silence.
Have you worked on any movies before?
Posted by Patrick at January 25, 2010 10:16 PMS.th usual as happenin' but such a diff describin'
thx!
How can a place with a flowery curtain and a sign saying "Fresh Lemonade" be "creepy."It is actually a very 60's look. I'm not sure about the story. She is getting his drink/making change. Maybe he is attracted to her. I do love the composition and the debate about the 'story' in the comments.
Posted by Barbara M at January 26, 2010 10:00 AMJust beautiful - so many stories here. It's a really powerful image, beautifully seen and captured.
Posted by muzz at January 26, 2010 07:51 PMI thought you shot the screen at the theater or something....very cool...such sharp picture.
Posted by Kiana at January 28, 2010 05:37 AMI love this shot! So cinematic and the colors are gorgeous!
