[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was thinking how to describe my feelings coming out of this photo, but suddenly I have remember a song written by a genious, Tom Waits: "(Looking for) The heart of saturday nights"

Well you gassed her up
Behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrelin' down the boulevard
You're looking for the heart of Saturday night

And you got paid on Friday
And your pockets are jinglin'
And you see the lights
You get all tinglin' cause you're cruisin' with a 6
And you're looking for the heart of Saturday night

Then you comb your hair
Shave your face
Tryin' to wipe out ev'ry trace
All the other days
In the week you know that this'll be the Saturday
You're reachin' your peak

Stoppin' on the red
You're goin' on the green
'Cause tonight'll be like nothin'
You've ever seen
And you're barrelin' down the boulevard
Lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Tell me is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
Is it the barmaid that's smilin' from the corner of her eye?
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of quiver down in the core
'Cause you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
And now you're stumblin'
You're stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night

Well you gassed her up
And you're behind the wheel
With your arm around your sweet one
In your Oldsmobile
Barrellin' down the boulevard,
You're lookin' for the heart of Saturday night

Is the crack of the poolballs, neon buzzin?
Telephone's ringin'; it's your second cousin
And the barmaid is smilin' from the corner of her eye
Magic of the melancholy tear in your eye.

Makes it kind of special down in the core
And you're dreamin' of them Saturdays that came before
It's found you stumblin'
Stumblin' onto the heart of Saturday night
And you're stumblin'
Stumblin onto the heart of Saturday night

Hola Miguel!!

Lo mejor de la foto es que creo que capta la esencia del barrio donde fué tomada, si bien la encuentro un poco obscura. Tu nota sobre la foto, como de costumbre, superior!!
Gracias por compartir
Manuel

Hola Miguel,

Tu conoces y sabes muy bien captar la esencia de la vida urbana. Me gusta mucho tus fotos de gente en las calles en cualquier ciudad del mundo. ¿Que estarán buscando? Excelente composición. La nota es muy buena también.

Abrazos mi amigo
Leonor

Hola Moguel:

El ambiente del ... saturday night... es especial en todas las grandes ciudades y esta imagen muestra esa atmósfera de búsqueda y curiosidad. Me gusta.

Me gusta mucho el ambiente de la calle, Miguel, el movimiento de las gentes, el bullicio y, en este caso, la curiosidad que nos deja saber qué están mirando los de la derecha. Tal vez esté un poquito oscura y/o un poquito saturados los colores, pero no es grave. La idea es muy buena y captura bien la vitalidad de una ciudad como esta. Muy buena foto! Gracias, un beso.

Angel.
