Photographer’s Note

Snapshot / candid photo.
I saw the sleeping man. Nothing at him was interesting. But when I looked back again few seconds later, the scene had itself by the new POV completely changed…. and I release the shutter........
I puzzle, which lies on the chair beside him.

You good 0.1 meaningful pictures. Old person is lonely? Remembers the past events? Hopes the children? is good. Good.

At first I thought there are some customers in the background:)
Stunning POV, good eye:)

Guten Morgen, Wolfgang!
Du gehst ja wirklich an die Leute, ans Leben heran. Das Foto ist einfach köstlich...! Wie so oft im Leben - es kommt auf den Blickwinkel an ;-))
Grüße aus den nass-grauen Siegerland!

Hello Wolfgang,

Haha, that is a great catch!
Wondering what he is 'twingling' about :-).
The bag? For dog pooh?

Greetings!

Hallo Wolfgang,

so lernt man auch mal die Innendeko von "Subway" kennen, wie immer eine beeindruckende Nähe zum Objekt und in der Endfassung ein hervorragendes Bild..

viele Grüße Bernd

Allô Wolfgang!
Intéressante ta photo avec l'homme endormi. Les deux personnages sur l'affiche, que tu as bien placés dans ta composition, semble trouver drôle que l'homme soit endormi. Beau moment bien capté et superbes couleurs.
Félicitations!... et bonne soirée,
Emilius

Best regards,

Hi Wolfgang,
Placement of those faces is just perfect and makes this image work so well. Harmless humour of daily life.

Hi Wolfgang
Ha ha !
He is tired of waiting for the order and fell asleep? Or, he ate a lot?
Good job. Thanks

Hello Wolfgang,

Very good idea, very good composition, the old personn lonely between the two young peoples in the poster. The decisive moment well collected, an image pf the life in the XXI century.
Have agood WE,

hi Wolfgang

I like this capture of the man and the poster behind him, this is really a great view of life in a city controlled by publicity and promotions. I wonder what is that on the chair? The most interesting feature of this shot is the composition where you placed the man in between the 2 heads in the poster, good work!

Perhaps 1 day I would try to sleep on a chair in a cafe :)

tfs, bill

Gıten morgen Wolfgang,
Das ist wohl der Unterchiede zwischen zuschauen und sehen. Den zweiteren braucht der gute Photograph, und diesen hast Du wohl !
Wunderbar; nicht nur dieser huebsche Moment, aber dieser thematische wie auch farbliche Kontrast mit dem Mann vorne unddem Poster hinten.
Sehr farbenfroh.
Danke schoen und schoenes Wochenende

Hello Wolfgang,
excellent moment! Very good POV! That's a talent to see such moments, I suppose :)
The man got tired of these two "paper people" laughing silently in the BG and fell asleep :)
I can't make out and guess what is on the chair beside the man! something mysterious...
Best regards,
Elena

So humorous Wolfgang!!!

Simple moments in great POVs!! :) This picture is indicant of your clever way of looking scenes! :)

It is also so so so so interesting that he fell asleep in the right place, having the perfect body position...enabling you to take this great and humorous picture! :)

I always enjoy looking your gallery Wolfgang and I do so, even though my limited time keeps me sometimes away from commenting.

All the best,
Rene

Very funny . slick timing;) I guess this is what happens if you order a full meal from subway. The lively poster makes a good contrast .

Glint (3005) 2009-03-19 0:54

hello Wolfgang,
I like the touch of humour here as this man snoozes and seems to be sandwiched between the smiing faces of the poster poeople.You have managed a nice light and colours.
regards,
Bev

crhieatt (5143) 2009-04-01 8:59

This reminds me just how many great shots I've been missing in your gallery! Again, you've found that moment which yields an extra significance to the eye - to the mind. Lovely.
