The 6:11, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

In Los Angeles waiting on the bus is something only a few get to enjoy.

Sadly, Los Angeles does not have a thriving Metro System like NYC, SF, CHI, London, Paris, or Hong Kong... Everyone stays in their cars.

The use of the tilt is well seen here, you create a diagonal with it, and it adds a dynamism. Nice daily live photo.

Hi Don,
It is amazing that a city so large and spread out over a large area like LA has no metro...I just returned from Seoul which has a brilliant metro (that transports 25 million people in the 2nd largest city in the world), and without it, I'd imagine the place would choke..
I hope the bus ran on time for these folk, I like the tilt, it has that esthetic of classic street photography that seems lost in todays world, where people complain about imperfections in street photo's..they miss the point..this is real and dynamic, and it ain't no postcard..but life is not a postcard.. This is real life, not some posed shot or perfect shot, and, I like the light on their bodies (like a ray of hope that a metro will come one day :)
Cheers
Justin

Hello, ok, I see what you mean by tilting a little to the left. Here it does work well because I believe it provides a good perspective along the lines of the sidewalk. It is a part of your style.
Have a good day,
TFS,
Karen
