Description I admire how chess players are able to focus and concentrate on the game, erasing from their mind everything around themselves

Amsterdam, August 2005

I really like how you have these two men in such focus and concentration in the middle of the clutter of the street. What a place to place chess

in that square there were a lot of chess players and there was also a 'gigant' chess board with big pieces ( like 60cm tall )

this really gives me the Β΄feelingΒ΄ of Amsterdam... so much, that i feel homesick now
i live in spain since february this year, and sometimes i miss holland very much. holland has something special which i cannot put in words, but it speaks out of this photo.

the b&w really ads to it
well done, my friend

ma l'hai vista la mia in versione charlie chaplin? un po' di matita intorno agli occhi e baffetti e via

bupo In reply to KoAn72 [2005-09-20 11:09:39 +0000 UTC]

eh, la fai facile tu ( si l'ho vista )

ti sei truccata comunque...quel che tu dici 'un po di matita e baffetti' ... beh ci potrei mettere ore

per non parlare di se si vuole un trucco un po piu' forte ( non necessariamente parlo di trucco glamour anche se sarebbe figo anche quello )

tra l'altro da un lato adoro il b/w ma dall'altro vorrei fare anche un po di ritratti colore ... e li' Γ¨ molto piu' importante che ci sia un buon trucco, almeno credo ... ho visto degli scatti tra fashion/glamour/fetish dove la parte 'setup' Γ¨ importantissima ( trucco/vestiti/ambiente )

Were they trying to busk by playing chess? The mans cap is on the floor as if to collect money form the passers by.

This is a great moment shot, both deep in concentration, oblivious to their photo being taken. You've also captured an element of Amsterdam too with the bikes in the background

bupo In reply to PhoeniX252 [2005-09-20 08:32:50 +0000 UTC]

well there were a lot of ppl watching, and they were not the only players in that place

thx for noting the bikes and the element of Amsterdam that's why the title
