Photographer’s Note
A couple of young boys hanging around on the street. This was shot just as it was starting to get dark at around ISO800. I was waiting on an overpass for the sun to set, so I could have a go at taking some long exposure for car lights. They didn't work out but I was happy with how this shot worked.
I took it with desaturation in mind. I've never used B&W film (or film at all, really) so I can't get the effect I really wanted.
These boys had been hanging out there for maybe 20 minutes and maybe made a living by way of some association to a "beggar" (I think she might be a fake) woman working on the bridge.

I like the aerial perspective in the shot and the composition is very good. The black and white makes it feel almost nostalgic. On a technical note, mybe using the dodge tool in photoshop on the bottom portion could pul the boys legs out from the shadow a little. It is a very interesting shot regardless.
