Photographer’s Note
I was amazed at the transportation in Angeles City. I panned to track the action but it was a dreary afternoon after the rain. I expect it is just one family but I have no way to rally know that for sure.
I cropped it a bit to center the action.

Hello Greg! Very interesting picture!! I love all the different types of blur here. Motion blur, lens blur and bokeh.Very very interesting technically. It is just a bit dark but I think the crop is just perfect! Bravo!

Hello Greg
The smile of the lady on the left illuminates your picture. She seems to be the mother of all the children we can see. By looking attentively your photograph is full of interesting details.
I like the child sitting in front of his father (it reminds me of my own father who sometimes took us for a ride in the same way)
A nice picture indeed.
Regards
Henry

Bonjour Greg,
bravo pour cette prise de vue accentuée sur les 11 acteurs de cette magnifique photo. J'aime bien l'aspect social et le sujet humain dans certaines de vos photos que j'admire.
Cordialement Tita.

Wow, a very good shot! There is nearly no blur in the center (despite of the exposure time of 1/15 seconds) and the composition with this incredible number of people on such a small vehicle is really great.

Hello Greg,
This is a very cute photo. Excellent control of DOF while the strangers in the back continuing their daily activities indifferent to the main event in the front. It is amazing how these relatively poor people look happy and content despite the day to day hardship such as BAD public transportation system.

Hello Greg,
This is totally amazing, a good documentary!
I notice thiks bike may have a more powerful engine than the usual but he will for sure need that for a family of 11..!
Situation is well framed!

This is so great! I laughed when there, seeing how many people they could pile on. And once even piggys going to market :)

Hi Greg,
Great deaily life scene of this happy family so wonderfully croweded on this wonderfully inventive bus. The rag top only covers a half dozen. Very good colors and sharpness to this lovely daily life offering.

hey there, greg
so, here's your famous fridge foto :)) love it. that's a great street shot and it seems some of the riders have taken a notice of you and at least one is obviously enjoying your interest :)) nice observation indeed!

now this is effective commuting :) I wonder if we all end up like this with gas prices as they are.
again - perfect timing, and panning works really well to blurr the background and make it less distractive while keeping the bike in focus. but the best part is the fact that some of the passengers are looking right at you, although not everyone is happy, mind you. excellent daily life shot, I like it a lot.
regards,
Kristine

Hello Greg
An informative daily life - never to seen where I live. The blurring works well and helps focus on this unique load. Tfs, Marlene
