Not that it's bad. It adds to the environment.

Yea I was pleased with the overall effect.

The side walk and some of the wall is way hot (lost detail) otherwise nice..

I just noticed that everything is b/w except the graffiti on the wall. Was that intentional? Also, is that you in the reflection of the window beside the guy in the black shirt?

The graffiti stood out even while everything was in color so I decided to selective color it. Yea, I can be partially seen in the glass...

did you know that person?

Im always kinda shy at taking picures like this. Sometimes i get people who dont care, and sometimes i get people who start throwing fits.

Nice, I like your style....seen a few of your shots and they remind me of what I like to shoot. We have a newborn in the house so I haven't been getting out to shoot lately....so I'm living vicariously through you and a few others on the board here I'm cooped up in the house watching the boy and trying to get him to stop beating up Ernie, see avatar lol

30D or xti? what's your preferred lens to take out on the town?

Nopes. I just take off walking the streets and shoot what catches my eye. I cover prob 3 to 5 miles each outing. I'm usually out about 3-7 hours at a time sometimes. Good exorcise =)

Thanks for the comments =) This particular shot was with the XTi and 50 1.8. Which camera/gear I use depends on how I feel that day. Sometimes I will just travel light, other times it's time for the heavier gear. Lately it had been raining Alot here in Texas, but the past couple weeks have been ok so my shoot time has gone up. The wife has been traveling with me this past week so she helps carry the gear with no complaints. I bought her a little P&S Sony DSC today to get her more into photography. Later down the road I told her she could have the XTi once she gets the hang of things.
