Where's That Bloody Bus...?

[Brian Moore]

Chinatown, San Francisco.

Canon F1 and Arista EDU 400 film processed in Rodinal.

Superbly observed Brian. Even without the title it is so clear what is going on especially with the one going in the other direction just about disappear out of shot. I like the contrast between the busy details on the other side of the street and the almost featureless tarmac of the nearer side.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks very much, Pete. Bit of a fluke to get so relatively featureless a foreground in Chinatown at midday on a Sunday. Thanks again, Pete.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I too like the contrast between the busy side and the empty side. She looks impatient with one foot just off the ground. I can't help but wonder what Chinatown in London is like these days - haven't been there for years...

 

[Brian Moore]

You're absolutely right about her apparant impatience. Thanks for the comment, Lesley. (Would love to see London Chinatown foties! There's one in LA as well. I should make my way up there one of these days.)

I love the architecture in this ... This is just the sort of thing we don't get over here
The little details like the cables make images like this I think

 

[Brian Moore]

Yeah, Hamish, it's definately not UK architecture. I think you're right about the little details such as the cables. Thanks.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

LOL - Classic moment Brian - I can almost hear her screaming

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated.

Very nice!

I love the timing of this, & also the space captured & afforded by the US big wide streets. The architecture makes it kind of timeless too.

Thank you, Alfie!
