Description
On the 33 bus back home from downtown. I'm surprised this woman didn't notice me photograph her... she must have really been deep in thought.More at my blog and Web site

Indeed!
I feel shy to shoot people on the bus, because they would claim or look disappointed to me...

I think you've managed to get just the right amount of light on her face to show her expression. Anymore light, and your background would probably be blown out and you'd lose the great silhouettes you currently get.
Love this.

hey, i missed your pictures. this one i like very much...i want to do street pictures here. But here, in Romania, people are not so used to cameras and become very attentive at you.

i know how you feel about that... sometimes i feel like no one looks at me until the moment i need to raise my camera to my eye. so i often take hip- or waist-level shots. they're much less easily detected.

maybe she noticed you but pretended she didn't
and maybe that's why she looks so proud ;D
Great expression, great photograph!

I love the lighting in this shot. So subtle on the subject but harsh in the background.
Well done

this is marvelous Meredith...
I love the composition....

do you think the lighting on her is too low?
then again... it can come across as in the blues....
what do you think?

dont you love close ups of humans in their element of being.
yes--it feel invasive alittle...but something forces one to capture it...
do you think that signifies a street photographer
the ones who aren't into paparazzi nonsense...but capture the existence of their times and the documentation of the lives?

i actually like the dreamy feel of the light
yes, that was the one thing that really drew me to her... she was so lost inside her own thought. and yes, i do believe that's what street is all about... capturing the little moments that no one pays mind to... a minute of peace in the chaos of the city, i guess. thanks, stefanie.

so do i... i think it's my favorite subject to shoot, besides old men in hats and people reading newspapers.

And I suspect that within that photo there is at least one person reading a newspaper too.

You got so close to her and took her photograph, don't you get nervous about it? I always do.
The photograph is really nice though, an unusual portrait style.

well, i was sitting right behind her, so i didn't have to move much except to raise the camera to my eye.
