Taken in a back-alley in Hong-Dae.

So Hong-Dae is one of my most favorite places in Korea that I only truly discovered this summer in Korea. It is home to a university called "Hong-Dae University" and the entire city surrounding it is catered to young college students. So the night club scene there is one of the best, and there are tons of restaurants and bars cluttered all over the place. This place is overflowing with energy and a youth culture that tries to break out of the strict conservative norms of Korea, shown by the artistic graffiti all over the place as well as the robust style that they have there.

*As for the title... anyone care to give me their take on how they interpret the image?

Hi Eric,
The foto made me wonder about the word "soundholic". I had to google it - found this "Soundholic is an independent record label based in Tokyo, Japan, established on May 17, 1996. Its president is Noboru Shibadaira"
and your night / rock club in Korea.

I'll play, Eric!

I see the girl on the upper left as performing the actual heist. The two fellows above and to the right are handling the logistics. The gent below is the getaway driver. I'd say he's not too concerned though! He's taken time to remove a shoe during this event! That's some nasty evidence to leave behind!
Anyhow, great one as always!

not sure about the title eric but loving the shot

lots to look at and lots of mood from the location, exactly what i like in a street shot.

Nicely done

Very cool, the guy sitting in the chair really makes the image for me great capture and as always a great conversion.

Interesting interpretation Tim. I actually didn't notice the girl on the upper left. I saw the two men on top planning the Heist, with the poor security guard on the bottom not knowing what hit him.

Thanks again for your comment Tim!

Thank you Ray. I think I am finally getting this b/w conversion thing down. Now when it comes to color.... I am lost in the ballpark
