*my friend lucile from lucile de godoy | bridging lacunas has challenged me to join in the 5-day b&w photo challenge, where I must post a black and white photo each day for 5 days and nominate someone else to join the challenge, today i’d like to invite “Red Pants And a Mustache” from Exploring Coffee Shops in Stockholm, to join the challenge with us, and even if he doesn’t please go take a look anyway*

Thanks for making the post serious but not totally devastating as some others. Your people look lost and unhappy, eating in the cold streets.
The streets were crowded, impossibly so, with people out to see the christmas lights. Maybe my own mood influenced the shot, but I think at this time of year there is huge pressure on us all to be happy and smile, even if that feels like the biggest lie. So, thank you, for seeing what I saw.
I can’t see why anyone on earth would want to go out to see christmas lights but I won’t argue with the bunch. The people had better stayed at home in bed. I’m freezing only by looking at them. Anyway. Thank you for having a sane view of the season. It’s uplifting.
Thank you. It really was crazy, barely room to move and full of people pushing and shoving. So I’m happy you see my point, sane and controversial…
Oh controversy is my favourite. I love all forms of iconoclasm. Cheers to controversy then. *raises glass*
And so say I.
Živeli! 😉
na zdraví!
I was afraid of what I’d see when I read “eating” as it can be unattractive but it’s great (I should not have been concerned😄).
Oh and you’ve been spotted again! 😄
I need to practice my stealth technique! 😉
Heh heh. I love looking for that one person who has found you!
Watch this space 😉
My patagonian android akways grasps your state of mind and connection with the image, and I seccond her.
Keep asking myself though if you, like me, feel like a thrilled spy, photographying people in hidding.
I’m loving the iconoclast series…
Thank you, and yes, the patagonian sees straight through me…
And yes, I am getting more and more addicted, each time I am in a group of people, I find myself looking for what lies beneath or behind.
And I think if safe to say there may be more in the series…
NIce shot. I’m guessing it was around lunch time? 🙂
I prefer like you done here and used your camera and not your phone, but I’ll admit that I liked the feel of the blurred phone photo that you posted recently.
That’s what filters are for: to save phone photos.
This was actually a night shot and shows the different potential of my real camera and my phone, but glad you also liked my filtered phone shot also!
