Took this when I was made to shop against my will. It appears that I wasn't alone...

I really love this Jim! The feet, the lovely tonal contrast and colours and finally, that LOOK!

 

[Pete Askew]

Brilliantly done Jim. Such understanding!

 

[Glen Roberts]

I share his Pain every time we go shopping...

 

[Jim Kuo]

Thanks Lesley, Pete and Glen.

Doing a bit of street photography while I wait outside shops was the only way to maintain my sanity!

 

[Brian Moore]

You and he are kindred spirits at that moment Jim. Great shot!

 

[Jim Kuo]

Thanks Brian!

 

[Paul Lange]

That is a great capture Jim of a look that I have been trying to master every time I get roped into shopping. I hope that one day I will perfect it and someone will see my pain and take me away from the misery that is traipsing around clothes shops for the best (worst) part of a day.

 

[Jim Kuo]

It seems there are quite a few of us plagued by the suffering that's (un)intentionally imposed upon us.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice one Jim. Yes waiting in amongst all the bra's and such outside the changing rooms, never thought i'd say this what a godsend online shopping is.

Ah ha - classic!

Good entry for the shoes theme as well

Now, if you cropped 16:9 from the bottom....

Now, if you cropped 16:9 from the bottom....

Thanks Chris. I have been trying to refrain myself from cropping after attending Matt Stuart and Stephen McLaren's workshop. Although they specifically expressed that I should do whatever I feel comfortable with, they did allude that they personally don't crop.

I am purposely emulating their practice in hoping that I can understand their intention eventually.

How was the Matt Stuart and Stephen McLaren workshop Jim?

Did you do a two day one?

 

[Jim Kuo]

Yes, we did a two day one back in June.

They are extremely knowledgeable, and humble, plus they were able to articulate the techniques and mind sets very well (other workshops I attended were not so). They've helped to accelerate in my street photography a great deal.
