Downtown was happening today

[alfredo]

I added a cartoon filter to this

1. What a fascinating assembly you did.

Of the peppers I like the first one best, though I don't know why. A little more mysterious maybe. The little kid is great, the Mama knows what the heck you are doing but the baby is very dubious. Happy little girls, nicely caught.
But my favorite is the sleeping guy. I don't know what the cartoon filter did, but what I like is that in spite of it being a color photo it looks like a b/w with a large red center. I really like that photo a whole lot.

2. Thanks, The first peppers image is the better of the two.

I used the vivid setting on the camera.

The Cartoon filter should be called comic book filter. The effect is best seen on his pants. They look solid, not fabric.

I used a real light touch with the filter.

A thread on Hyper real paintings inspired me.

If it isn't raining I am going to take photos at a Jack Conway rally monday.

I might add more images tonight or tomorrow.

3. I really like the two young lasses

There is something in their faces and body language that reaches out and touches me deeply....

I like #1 the cartoon filter lad and the young girls most of all....

Very good work....

4. Thanks. I really like the way kids inexact with each other. Catching those

Moments is the hard part with a slow camera like mine.

6. Farmer's Market Downtown?

These scenes are universal. All of them. Good job capturing the set. Reminds me that I must get downtown more.

7. Yes, it is on the scene of an old slave market. Times have

changed. I hope you have a downtown that is being revitalized.
