Whoo I like this one! Cluttered, but clean composition with lots of little details. I'm almost strictly a b&w guy but this shot makes a proper case for color. Where is Santa Ana square btw?
Your work is terrific. This one hits for me (mostly) but misses for me too. Framing, colors, laundry….. they ALL work perfectly. But there are too many people down below (for me). The one table to the right with two people at it would have been PERFECT. You should have walked over and told everyone but them to leave … threatened them with violence if they didn’t depart. Then you would have had a killer shot and a hell of a story to tell too (while in jail).
Bingo! But now what you needed to do is bust into all those apartments and threaten all the residents and force them to rehang all the laundry. Then, the police could add ‘breaking and entering” to your rap sheet. Man, it’s though being a credible urban photographer!
