Threads and hairs, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

I don't really understand what he sells and why do people buy these threads, but I couldn't ignore the similarity between the seller's hair and the things he sells.
Another shot from the Camden Lock Market.

a slight crop and USM. No other PP. Taken from the distance with a 300mm zoom .

Very well seen and captured, Yitzhak.
Great combination of two heads. Beautiful and colorful threads with nice repetition are a nice background.

I made a WS to highlight those two things – the heads and the threads...

This is extremely well seen and captured. Great colors. Great composition too, I like where you placed the man's head in relation to the other 'heads'. Very well done, I really like the pics you took in England!

You're trying people shots too i see : )
This guy was a good choice of subject, and his pose is good. I don't know what he's selling either, but 2 for £5 sounds a bargain! Slightly over exposed in places, i had a go at a WS but it didn't help. Great shot, and i think 300mm is a good place to start portrait photography, as they don't have to know.

Miscellaneous colours Yitzhak, it face of the man with great expression. Lovely market view, nice note too. Thanks Yitzhak.

Yes, I guess the scene would not be half as funny if it was a bald guy standing there ;-) A great capture, Yitzhak, a funny and colorful repetition you spotted. I like how the guy's face is lit by the sun and is looking "into the scene". Good shot.

Nice shot Yitzhak
beautiful colours and focus, and the pensive look on the guys' face is priceless.

LOL! Guys, these are band warmers, you can loop them round your head and around your neck; the mannequin head shows you one of the ways to wear it :D

Great compositon Yitzhak.

I like the man expresion. The look it's "terrivel". The colors and details.

Well done

He he, I for one have them around my neck as mm...eh necklesses? That sound a bit odd doesn't it, but it looks good with the right clothes to it i promise (Now i'm hoping that i'm the not the only one that doesn't see that it looks like i have my own hair around my neck ;)). Well any way, I would have bought about 6 of them. As for the picture, i like that too. I like the colours and the bright hard light.

he looks scary I won't buy anything from him, hehe good exposure and nice bright colors on the right.

Great shot.

interesting. i am attracted to the man's moustache. A pity that the right side of photo not that sharp.

A nice amusing shot. Lots of repetition of these "things". The shot is a bit overexposed but still very good.

manny (22032) 2004-03-30 12:13

Yitzhak, you certainly know where to aim your camera. Though it is a bit overexposed, I like your composition here. Nice colors too. Very well-seen.
