Default San Francisco People

The first photo of the old lady in the train is LFI Gallery's Editor's Choice this week. Check it out here: LFI Gallery - Galerie

The pictures were taken with an M8 or a D-Lux 3. Hope you enjoy them.

First impression is how much the images looked like they were taken in a "clean" room. Immaculate settings. I never experienced San Francisco in that way. Georgeous compositions & execution. Very striking and well presented. Wonderful tonal ranges, contrast and a surreal air, particular in the street scenes. Can you present the color versions as well? Can't wait to see more. BTW, Welcome Aboard Captain.

Eman, I said it to you before: excellent.
The series completed that single shot so naturally.

That's just what we look like, over here on the Left Coast - and the whole set is technically & compositionally outstanding!

Thanks for the kind comments. Much appreciated, especially coming from this user group. Like Kirk said, here are more Left Coast people. Hope you like them too.

Roguewave -- I don't have the color originals anymore. I lost all my RAW files when my computer crashed last month.

Outstanding! Nothing else to say.

How did your picture become the LFI editors choice?
I don't ever recall anyone published on a Leica publication posting anything on this forum but I may be wrong.

You have raised the bar for the rest of us!

Cheers,

Eman, this is a great series.
For me, each of these photos would have deserved it's own posting.

Wilfredo

Doug Herr had a whole section to himself last year, and those of us who went to Berlin for the One Challenge all had our shots published in a 4 page spread.

Harald Benz (Haribo here) has 5 1/2 pages, all to himself, in the 6/2008 Edition.

Plus there are more that I can't find at the moment.
