    I like the second photo. It seems there has been some kind of altercation in the scene, with the people on the left walking by as if nothing has happened.

    You always do great candids! I love the black and whites, and for some reason the clarity in the color reminds me of a 1970s movie, not sure why but there you go

    I agree with Kajuah, You amaze me shooting from a bus like you do. Your B&Ws have a nice, gritty, urban touch. The processing is very good.

    Hi Don,
    I also like Photo 2 the best. The photo reflects a lot about the society problems and culture. The composition is also very effective.

    the bus is how i travel. It just also makes a handy blind. I did get caught a few times. Sometimes they give me the finger.

    Well that's great, I am sure you get the finger every now and them. I think I'd have trouble capturing some of the moments you do even if I wasn't in a bus, really very nice.

    Thanks shoot me. I hope to go out in the countryside this weekend with "Polar Bear." Then I'll have some non-bus shots for a change.
