Bus Stop Shadows

Carrier’s Station

2014-XA-002-03

I walked by here again the other day and a letter carrier was rummaging in this box so I took another shot. It is still in the camera so don’t know if it turned out.

This is another picture from the Olympus XA point and shoot on film from a few weeks ago.

Somehow that black bumper for an adjacent gate on the right ties this whole photo together, despite its size.

Reflective

2014-XA-002-17

I have tried this shot before with this same camera and with the Olympus Pen (a shot that was turned on its head by the film slipping). This version does not quite get where I want to be since the man’s reflection is not quite right and View Towers in the background is blown out a bit too much, but I do like the contemplative feel. Oddly enough the man in this picture is the same one as is carrying the carpets shot a couple of months earlier. I suppose he works in the carpet store that is behind the windows on the left – do you think carpet salesmen have more than the usual amount of things to reflect upon?

Meter, Van, Reflection, Pub

2014-XA-002-16

Continuing with the unintentional theme of shiny vehicles, this was spotted outside Swans brew pub after a couple of pints. Maybe the beer is why I took it. I am writing this post after a couple of beer. Maybe the beer is why I am posting this shot.

But it does go with the side of the bus and the side of the trailer from the last two days. I think.

Crosswalk View

2014-XA-002-29

This bus dominated my view as I waited to cross the street.  The Olympus XA was wound and ready to go in my hand; without really thinking I shot this from the waist. I think the photo gives the same sense of view as the bus did on its way by.

Let’s Go Mom

2014-XA-002-10-3

My granddaughter, getting ready to depart after dinner one day. I can’t make up my mind about the cropping – the square format I did for Instagram, and it works pretty well, but I like the streaks of light and shadow on the wall which are stronger in the uncropped version. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
