[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Usually we do not see ourselves in relation to this concept: Time. Or at least we deny to see.

Others see the changes we have passed through, and we see how others were affected by time.

The world seems like a stage where others are the actors and we are merely spectators.

The truth is that we are all actors and spectators at the same time. Time passes by. Time does not wait for anyone, for anything.
We have to act, to seize the moment.

I really like the mood from this shot. The POV is fantastic and the single hue works very well. The people in the crosswalk really make the shot. I wish (on my monitor at least) that parts of this shot were brighter, some detail appears to be missing. This might increase noise too much though. Nice job!

Very artistic BW with something to see in the composition. The opposition between the active and unactive is excellent and the difference of rythm is very attractive.
A good one.
I like it

Nice capture of daily life in street. This kind of shot really tempt my eyes. The composition is great and colours as well. I see this is how we live on the earth anyway...

Hi Kike, wonderful picture. Renders the harsh reality for teh older people, (and for all of us), facing aging, and not willing to.
I love the colors, duotone? Filter?
I think you have deliberately chosen this DoF, but I myself would have preferred a less deeper DoF, the background is obvious enough.
As always, thanks for sharing your views in a note.

Certera foto y certera nota Kike... Me gusta porque me entristece ¿paradójico, no? Bueno, así es la vida, como tu dices somos actores, somos espectadores. Gracias.

Cesar, i like the poetic scene and the background with that cars moving. The homeless is very nice, cotinue posting your pictures.

I really appreciate the atmosphere of this picture and the note that goes with it, they have a lot of strength.
The old woman on the bench is watching time going by, maybe the blonde woman crossing reminds her of the woman she has been (or could have been, had things gone differently...). The man sleeping beside her makes the picture very sad. It's not only tiredness that makes him sleep, but also the heaviness of life, of things that have gone wrong.
Really touching.

An admirable daily life shot,great street scene,a fine factography,very well seen and noticed and a superb tonalities range you managed for it in B&W medium,nicely composed and it's a strong work,Kike!
Yours

Bela foto em B&W... eu diria uma foto jornalística, já que mostra um aspecto da vida diária.
A tonalidade e contraste estão muito bem definidos.
Abraços,
Celso

Hi Cesar,
Very nice daily moment. You different situations on this shot and all looks very natural. The B&W worked great here. Very well done.
Regards and congratulations for the TE book initiative.

Hi Cesar - a somber but very effective image, nice idea to convert to bw, and excellent note.
