Ok so these were taken in inner city areas. I didn't want to put these in the people section as its people that give a city its life and we're from the inner city.

I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus

Sean, your pictures aren't linking too well, I had to go back to your post several times for the pic to show. You mention "these", do you have more than one pic here? I am seeing the one of a seated guy with a North Face Snorkel jacket and beanie on. Excellent capture, I love the composition, lighting, and forlorn expression, as if he is a bit weary of the world. Is this on a bus or train?

Looks like Diane has the better eye here Sean man ... or maybe you're just a more experienced model :-) Watch your back. She'll have her own Pbase soon ;)

Good also to see that you two inner city slummers are being supported by major fashion label advertising as part of their attempts at corporate social responsibility :lol:

I haven't move house yet BTW. Bl***y new builds :evil:

The person that got me that coat was glad of the support i can tell you:p

See you get a drunk Diane on the bus and she ain't moving, and when a unmovable object meets an irresistible force, it's me that moves:oops:

Still not moved?

You belong in the city now boyo

PS
Don't worry, it's not only my life in the city that i care about

And I was about to say that your photography has grown by leaps and bounds, Sean! Your partner Diane has a good eye. It looks like you had several pints had you contemplating about the meaning of life, or if she had the focus spot on.

Ah, I see the second pic now,the one where you're on a train station platform. Damn PBase, so quirky. Diane is quite a looker, and unless you had an extra set of outerwear, heavily layered in the first pic, have a twin, or there is another pic that I am not seeing, I'm guessing that this was taken during different pub adventures.

There ended up just two of us on the bus.

The convo goes something like this...

Dee go sit there so i can get a shot of you.

No

Go on, it'll take a second

No

Ok take a shot of me sat there

Ok

(sets the aperture focus point ect) walks down the bus

ok get the red square on my nose

snap

walks back up the bus gets camera

Snap

can't you sit here

No

the end

I'm sure sure about that eye of hers but her will's mighty strong

Man, how strange! I check this thread again, and now i see a third picture! Actually it's the second one in the series, that of a solo shot of Diane, who sure looks lovely. That pbase site sure is wacky - first I see one, then two, now three. Is there a fourth?

Lol, Sean, great dialogue. I looked back at the pic when you mentioned 'red spot on your nose' and I saw nothing of the sort. I later realized that you meant the focusing point, haha i'm just dense sometimes.

Dave, so you haven't moved yet? All this time I thought you did.

Nice shots Sean. The first few, being a commuter, give that small sense of fear that you feel travelling late at night in the City, well done!!

Long and daft story ... I have moved office and job, same organisation, so still live in Birmingham but now based in London which is an hour and a half fast train away! Have to pay my own travel, etc which is working out at around $500/week being thrown away at the moment ... and all this expense and hassle because the place I found in St Albans to move to still isn't ready after 6 weeks!!!!! Now it's looking like mid April after me expecting this week (third date cancellation now!) problem is it's a new build nearing completion and seems to have 'issues' :rolleyes: Oh well ... the place I still own near Bath was 8 months late being completed so could be much worse ... and all that time too I was throwing money away in renting.

$500 a week?? With that kind of money you'd have a Leica M8 by now, sheesh. Perhaps you'd be better off getting A North Face VE-25 and camp out on the sidewalk in the meantime.

Man, this is eerie. I took a quick peek at the original post, and lo and behold, I see the fourth pic, just now. No wonder I didn't catch Dave's quip "The Future's Orange" earlier, I thought it was an inside or across the pond joke or something. Pbase seems to be dishing out those photos in increments, at least to me.

Thanks pal

I realise that mnay people are uneasy with getting on buses. I can't say i blame them at times. But thoughts like that never run through my head to be honest.

I've not used forums for so long that i've not imaged linked anything is a long time. It's not something i'm doing wrong that's for sure. So i can't figure out what the issue is. There should be about six images:rolleyes:

3 and 4 are gorgeous here, i love portraiture with an appealing urban backdrop.
so the mystery remains, who took shot number 3.. the bus driver? ;)
