    Here is a family getting a child's picture drawn at Montery CA's Fisherman's Wharf... It was a cloudy day with intermitten sun, clouds and Monterey Mist as one local put it.... C & C welcome as long as it's isn't a drive by... (Comments w/o instruction for those who don't know what I mean....)

    Thanks

    Nice Frog. I like how you included the cone on the right and the road at the bottom.

    Greg. ,meant to mention how great your shot is. Was it posed or did you get lucky?

    Ty, Liz and my tiny town is so different than a NY Times Square. I will be spending time looking at every person in your shot, trying to figure out what they're doing or at least imagining what they are doing.

    This "TINY" car was stopping traffic...all kinds of people posing...I found the size differential to be funny. :D

    Very rare....1958 Fiat Abarth 750. :cool:

    I realized I never posted more photos from my NYC trip last year.

    Some of NY's finest. Originally I had wanted this to be a epic shot of the officers on horse back but I was knocked aside and when I recovered and re-composed they were a little more silly...I like this anyways.

    Hey Rick, I'm glad you knew what the car was and posted it, because I would have asked. :D
    COOL CAR, Er, I meant capture of a stranger. :thumbsup:

    I like the musician shot, Jules. Black and white works good here.

    For six years this thread has been going and going. It has to be by far the most posted to and read thread in this forum. With over 1000 post and 75,000 views. I remember talking to Greg about capturing a stranger and then the idea took flight with his first post. Amazing how it started and came this far. I hope to see it roll for another 6 years.

    Panic after the storm, power is off and won't be back on for days. So lets mob the gas station.

    Did the price make a jump? West coast was more expensive than most of the country for a long time but it finally came down ...I paid $3.54 today.
    Hope you get your power back soon..too hot for no a/c
