I love this new bus stop serie. Funny intereaction between those 2 mens; stripped wall fits so well it's like you've put it there on purpose. Once again, agood exemple to follow.

Great B&W picture. I was wondering about the thumbnail picture but became amazed with the real work. A TOP picture. Congratulations ..

:) ha, nicely captured! You just try to think what goes through the little boy`s head..The B&W also emphasize the man`s face and expression with the appropriate grain that delivers an athmospheric feeling.

Heh! Nice that you got the kid looking at the freak with the starfish on his head. I wish there was something on the right though (for balance) like a hand, or torso.

great graphic photo. I missed this one somehow. I always love the billboard portraits. Nicely seen and nicely composed. JP

Wonderful - in the full meaning of that word Animesh- just great observation - this is a far from boring bus stop!I thin I would probably crop that top angle on the bus shelter to make a 'cleaner' image.

best wishes Kev

ps I'm really enjoying just focusing on posting B&W's - I can't deny that's in some large measure due to seeing your works and that of Sohrab. At one time a large part of my photography (and enjoyment of it) was B&W - although I was quite keen on colour slides too.

Really nice one Animesh.

best wishes Kev

I love this shot, Animesh, there´s a lot of your sense of humour in it.
I imagine how your classes may be. If you were my professor I wouldn´t miss any of your classes.
In my university time, not long ago, my professors were my 'rock stars'. I remember i used to take 3 buses to get there, 3 buses to come back home. So, i know about bus stops and university professors ;))

Hello Animesh,

I like it so much ! Bus stops are really an source of inspiration: In Turkey I have my pictures on display on bus stops at this moment.

This one in BW is really outstanding.

I wish you a very good week ! Izzet

Indeed an inspirational busstop nicely put in scene, very well done.

You have a very nice b/w porfolio.

I really like this capture, especially the different lines from it: diagonale with the patterns from the bus stop itself, left-to -right from the characters's look and bottom-up ligne with the ads.

Nice compo indeed.
Thanks
Al.
