Photographer's Note

I noticed thisshop (a barber's in fact) in the Bordeaux streets and waited for someone, in the same mood, to appear on the right.
Press the shutter, and here it is!

Hi Claude,
A good daily life street scene with soft and subdued colours. The man is well positioned in the picture and a good balance to the two brown awnings. I like the parallel lines of the shadows and his leg.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Claude
Life in a fast lane! This sums up a bit of the feel of hectic urban life of our world. For me, the flow of this image works itself and your title is appropriate. His strides that leads the field of view and juxtaposed by the signs, and he seems also too preoocupied looking in different directions. Interestingly our eyes tend to hover around these subjects eventualy into the 'jetset' signs as the eye is always attracted by highlights and bright colors. Excellent urban shot, reveals a real situation and funny how we now lead such a busy life and this busy picture says alot. Great shot
Best regards

Hello Claude,

You're capturing well this daily life scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the barber shop with a good decoration and the businessman who is walking along the passage at a quick pace with the bags. You catch well this from a good direction.

Kind regards,
mikio
