Have been away for a while. I have been busy with personal crap. Everyone knows how it goes. Here are some some recent random shots. I will be in New Orleans in about three weeks. Can't wait for a bit of street shooting there.

Good stuff, Rick. Contrary to Julian, I'm not so keen on the first - seems a bit easy: find a beautiful model in an ad, and wait for someone interesting to walk past. The second, though, is just perfect. I can hear the music. All the characters involved are...well, involved! It's a great study in hands, body language, facial expressions. Love it! And the third is great - what a character.
 
Well, Rob has just dashed my fantasy of real live giant Amazon woman alive in Texas today!

The other day I was wondering where you had been Rick. I had to look at number 2 a few times before I got it. Once I noticed the faces and their expressions it made it for me. Not too sure about the wonky frame though.

Man that guy in number 4 looks scary! I like it just for it's bizarre nature and the curious idea that this guy thinks that he looks even remotely approachable to kids.
 
Thanks for all the comments.

The 2nd photo was shot at the White Elephant Saloon- a bar in Fort Worth, Texas that is over 100 years old and is reputed to be the site of the last great gunfight in the West, back in the early 1900's. It is a great place and I stop there often when I am in town.

The 3rd photo is a shot of a real working cowboy in the small ranching town of Hico, Texas.

And finally, the scary clown photo was shot in Deep Ellum in Dallas, Texas. Deep Ellum is a music and art scene in downtown Dallas that is one of the coolest places in Texas. It is an excellent area for street shooting.
 
I really like #1 - nicely observed, and something I'd like to shot myself some day.

Nice eye contact with the cowboy - did he say anything because he looks like he might!

And the clown is just damn scary
