One-wheeled biker and homeless man


My camera caught these two in Ocala's downtown square just recently: deep in conversation.

Hee! I like the title of this post. This is one of those scenes you could make up an interesting story about.

This composition is just great! Well done!

Interesting shot of a daily life scene, though maybe not... Most people would shy away from a homeless person.

Lowell said...

@ Halcyon - I've thought about that many times...you could make up many scenarios...but what is their real story? Who are they? They were conversing for a long time; what were they talking about?

This image stirs the imagination, and isn't that what it's all about? I am always amazed when I see someone riding a unicycle. I do well to keep my bicycle upright. It must take talent to ride one of those.

Excellent photo! Thanks for all your comments over at Glasgow DP, sorry I've been out-of-action for a while in terms of catching up with comments. Trying to get through lots tonight on my husband's PC - my laptop is still missing its powerpack sadly.

Hey, Jacob, I love street photography and this is wonderful. Wait 'til you see what bike riders in New Orleans are doing these days.

Lowell said...

@ PJ - OK, what are bike riders in New Orleans doing these days? Are you going to show us?

Lois said...

Nice street scene!

Lowell said...

@ Lois, re: a previous comment on your post today: Lois Anne just came in to tell me we are under a tornado watch!

Duh! Shows how much I know!

Funny pun on the Murrow bust, Jacob! Your photo captures the pulse of most cities today. Hope to see you at Skywatch Friday!

I would call this scene "Compatibility". I wish philanthropy spreads.

Jacob, here you captured a scene that could have come straight from a movie.
Mostly man-to-man talks are flash-cooked ;)

Lowell said...

@ Juergen - OK, friend, this time you got me: what is "flash-cooked"?

People are some of the most interesting subjects. I always enjoy photos of daily life - whatever that may be in any particular place or time.
Thanks
