Come on guys. I need something more. I have absolutely no clue about any intent, message or reason anyone would take or post this. Try as I might, I just don't ever seem to get street photography although I do see the street.
All kidding aside, on one hand, a little poking fun at ladies fashions. On a little deeper level, the fact that many people dress in public to be noticed, for a host of reasons, and that my shadowed face is a representation of that perception. The wild tight pants, the hands on butt, the body language of the arms, the white lined pathway as a metaphor, all things that I noticed and resonated with me.
Street photography at it's best speaks about people. Here's a quote that I like that simply explains Street Photography. I'm not sure who wrote it, but it's called the "Street Photographer's Credo":
"Street photographers use the theatre of the street as their subject matter, transforming the pathos, tension, mystery, and inadvertent humor of real life into images of drama and insight into the human condition."
