About the photo: As I thought about this week's theme, I considered a number of images: people at basketball games, people on the beach, just random people walking through my life. None of those photographic possibilities seemed very exciting, so I cheated. Yes, I admit it: I cheated. I looked at Bill's draft image to see what he'd done. Then it hit me: Bill and I were together when he took that image of the men's clothing store . . . I know this because I also took an image of the same store. I like the fact that while the images are of the same store, our treatment of them is very different. Bill seems to have this marvelous luck of photographing intrusions into his shot and having those shots turn out. The case in point here are the men who walked into the frame, but I'm also thinking of one of the Hall in New Jersey where bicyclists rode into the shot. At the time, the intrusions were bothersome, the shots really turned out well. All that said, I like the way these images work off one another.

I’m so glad that you cheated and posted this photo. So many similarities but so many differences caused by the framing, cropping, lens, medium, tone, and so on. Really helps show how similar subjects can hold vastly different meanings.
As for my luck. . . . I’d much rather have what you have: the confidence to walk up to people and ask to take their photograph. You get so many wonderful images that way.
