Street Lfe ! A very well seen and captured scene !

Thanks, Ulrich.Originally I wanted to capture the crowds waiting for the light out of shot to the right, but kept shooting after they had dispersed and preferred this one.

The abandoned office chair is amazing, and it looks like the man pushing the baby carriage thinks so, too. One has to wonder how things like that get there. Like the shoes found at the side of the road - it's possible that once in a great while somebody would throw a shoe out of a car window, but there seem to be more of them than just an odd occurrence would deliver. A strange game of whose shoe gets thrown?

I recently replaced my computer chair, but I dismantled the old one and put the parts in the trash. Looks like I should have carted it downtown in the wee hours and left it at the edge of the town square, helplessly on its back.

Yes, you might have, perhaps starting a new trend ... DOWN with office drudgery! :-)

I was coming up the steps out of the subway one night and found a pig's head on the steps. Unfortunately that was before I carried a camera with me everywhere. I wondered if someone had been conducting a religious ritual.

A super street candid John..............I like the eye contact from the chap pushing the pram. The "dead" chair in the foreground anchors the shot nicely.

Thanks, Keith. The eye contact was the chief reason I chose this shot over the others I took. It looks less voyeuristic, for a start. I'm grateful to whoever left the chair there. My rigid photographic morality wouldn't have allowed me to move it to that spot.

As i watch your street work,more and more thinking to try it myself..our capital is not so colourfull and modern but iam sure there can be found some street scenes.

In Toronto colour is chiefly found at construction sites and at intersections with traffic lights, Marko. I've noticed on travel sites that Europeans are often impressed by all the modern building in Toronto, while those of us who live here often prefer the streetscapes of cities with more varied architecture. There aren't many of those in Canada oe the States because most of each country was settled very recently and has a very brief span of architectural heritage.

I'm sure that if you take your camera with you when you go for a walk you'll find something interesting to shoot.

Witty! Speculating on how the chair arrived there!

Thanks, Denis. The construction at this intersection has been going on for years (they're expanding a subway station) so I suspect there are many ways the chair could have found a home here.

Excellent street shot!

Thanks, William.

That office chair really steals the scene. I can only speculate that it crashed when trying to negotiate the gap between the concrete barriers. :-)

Or the result one of those drag races that crazed office workers organize after getting hopped up on toner, George.
