About Taken in Boston from the street. They seemed comfortable together without having to say anything.

This a reload of the previous photo. The first version in my portfolio had problems when I uploaded it (never resized it etc) So, I have finally decided to repost this because I like the dynamics of the two old men so much.

PS work:
Changed to b&w
adjusted brightness and contrast
cropped image (i cropped this image further than the original posting.)


Old Friends

"Old friends, old friends,
Sat on their parkbench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
of the high shoes of the old friends
Old friends, winter companions, the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through trees
Settle like dust on the shoulders of the old friends.

Can you imagine us years from today,
Sharing a parkbench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy

Old friends, memory brushes the same years,
Silently sharing the same fear"
--Lyrics Paul Simon

Hello Paul! what a great shot about friendship. You capture them very very well. Its actually has a lot of meaning. But to me, what really matters is that it is very hard to keep the relationship until one day ones come to this stage in the future. DOnt you think so?

Love this...
there is something very touching about the way they are sitting there together, so relaxed, and obviously enjoying themselves and the surroundings.
Not sure how to explain...
but you captured the mood perfectly.
And you did a real good job composing this.

Beautiful work...
My compliments!

Alastair Bell   {K:29571} 5/26/2005
This is wonderful Paul and very deserving of the award. The interplay between the two men is very interesting to see - comfort and familiarity is evident and patience from the one on the right while his very prim and proper friend has his drink. There is a definitely an unhurried 'taking my time' feel about the image too.. And the different body language from one to the other is superb!
One of the 'Great Shots' Paul...

Mark Julian Mark Julian   {K:36866} 5/20/2005
Dear Paul, Yeah , this one's just a killer shot. I think the B/W was the way to go here to keep the ultimate attention on the 2 men's faces / expressions. Using the Paul Simon song works well to - goes very well with the shot. Congratulations on the award, Mark PS. would be nice if UF threw me a little front page bone once in a great while - might even push me to be a donor again - but they seem more interested in blocking me every once in a while instead so, go figure..........

Thanks for the comment... yes, sometimes you have to do the best you can with an photo as you see it... this one was hard because it was from the street and from an angle looking up.. so, could not get the top of the table etc... I am just happy that it came out fairly well...

Manu    Manu     {K:13082} 5/19/2005
The two old boys look like wonderful characters...and yes the shot says friends for ages. There are some little bits that I might want to change (tighter panoramic crop ie top of table with the two heads) but sometimes you just have to take the shot, give it a tweak and then leave it alone...well done.

Thanks Roger.. I see your point about showing more under the table. I was only concerned about being able to see the details of their faces. I guess I always try and resist using too much PS work and only dealt with the overall brightness/contrasts....but I am slowly warming up to the idea on using more specific ps work on occasions and your suggestion is good...

I recognized it from the thumbnail! Much prefer this version, even the almost harsh contrast spotlights those fascinating faces! I don't think I could have resisted showing a bit of texture in the black shadows under the table but I can see how your treatment is very effective. Congrats!

Fantastic photo, Paul! What a couple of characters - it almost looks like a scene from some play! :) So many stories they could tell, yet they say it all with no words at all...
Well deserved award, too!

Paul,
Great composition. I like the cropped image - the symmetry of a square seems consistent with the content of the two old men. I hadn't seen your color version, but certainly agree with your choice of B&W. And, Congrats on your BIP award!

Excellent candid photo, Paul. The two guys seem to be immersed in each other and in the surroundings, and I don't think they took notice of you taking their photo, Paul. I re-read your bio in which you said that you were busy with life.
How about understanding it better? if you were to give me your e mail address (Mine is rafael1930@bezeqint.net )
and if your in-box can hold 1.02 MB, I would be more than happy to send you my book at no cost to you. Despite its name, it was written with the interested non mental-health professional also in mind. Several UF friends have already received it this way and they seemed to be happy with it.
And lest I forget, thank you for your kind words about my "Playing with hibiscus 3."
Best regards,
Rafi

Excellent! Love how the faces stand out against the darkness. They really seem to enjoy the moment and each other, even without words, when everything has been said many times ... the man on the right has already had some wine :)
