Street Portrait




Shooting Hearts and Triangles -
in  POOP



 Zia


Yes, I shot this available light portrait, on the sidewalk, literally, on Perea St., Legazpi Village, one fine, sunny Tuesday.  

Recently, a vet photog buddy of mine, who i regularly seek professional advice from, stated in passing, in one of his e-mails, that i take great portraits of ordinary people.
OK ....  So, I abreveiatted it - and came up with  P. O. O. P. - Right ? - from the phrase - Portraits Of Ordinary People.

The Seriousness, and Effort i put in every single portrait I craft is usually Not Outright Obvious and Plain to See - and hardly anyone appreciattes, [no biggy] let alone easily notices - the elements, nuances  {call it subliminals, even} in an image such as the one above - which help make it what it is.

NOW - IF i tell you to look for the Hearts in the image {easy, right?} - IF i tell you to look for Several Triangles, albeit Hidden, on the image ? .....hmmmm.    IF I ask you WHERE the Apex of the Biggest Triangle is, in the image ?   and WHAT IS the Apex of the said Triangle, albeit hidden and big  .....  hmm  again.   

 Now - do you get my drift ?

 --------

Yes, tryin' to be "catchy & funny" here by using the abbrev'  POOP [no harm done].
Yes too,  I like my POOP to be Extra Ordinary - OONO ! - Obvious or Not Obvious.
