Photographer's Note
A Fanfare for a working man...
5:30 in the morning... Deep in the stinking guts of the city... Any city...
When you guys are still sleeping
Our very own private hell...
Our living...
Our pride...
Our work...
...............
And I was there that very early in the morning... And my 20mm/f2.8 get foggy with that steam coming out of the boiling pot...
And I strongly believe it wouldn't get foggy once I've chosen to go out and to snap the wall of the building or the bushes over the river...
And, how cute was your weekend, folks ?

I like the old school color technique done in this shot, just a perfect match. I love to eat bagels, i can almost feel the heat from here in this pov.
Thanks for sharing.

zadymione, zakapiorowate, cuhnące rzeczywistością...nie jak poprzednie, banalnie proste, takie, które nawet ja bym trzasnąc potrafił ot tak przechodząc obok pucybuta...:-)))
tutaj czuć i widac tą robotę, tutaj prawda o miejscu pełźnie razem z dymem...
to zdjęcie jest wielkie...

Za głupiam, żeby uzasadnić... Ten dym ogarniający główną postać...
Może kiedyś później...

Zdjecie jest polonezowa klasyka, bardzo dobrze zrealizowane, a ja juz wiem, ze wcale nie latwo jest zrobic "dobra opowiesc" o pracujacym czlowieku.
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna.

Are you telling me that you got up that early in the morning to get your bagels? Or your photographs? That is what I call a dedicated photographer! Or a dedicated "bageler" (lover of bagels!).
An excellent subject, not seen often in TE, of the working men actually doing their job. Usually, we see them as indistinct passing shadows walking by on some non-distinct sidewalks... :)
I like how he seems to be "enveloped" by the steam. The shirt being black as the background, it looks like his clothes are made by this steam! Do you see what I mean?
I might wish to see a little more of the bagels. But it could be because I am a "bageler" myself! :)))
My weekend won't be cute at all, but that's life!

Ciao...

Hello George,
I'll ask to management what kind of priority you have that posts new photos each hours to shock us! ;)
Heyy, I'm happy you are here. Do you know we missed to introduce in Rome almost twenty five years ago? I'm no expecting any more to meet in Venezuela (already missed) but in a new, next country. Tell me which one? I'll be there.
I wish you delicious coming years at least this delicious bagels.
Excellently early caught, while he is busy turning bagels. I can not imagine them cooked with sesame and egg yolked. Congratulations. Have a nice new week..
Friendly Regards,
Ertugrul

I'll take ten of them, thanks. :-) More seriously, this is another one of your tender portraits. There is a touching expression on his face, a bid sad ? a bit tired ? that you caught so well. The steam envelops it all, the subdued tonalities, the special mood and that beautiful light on his face and arms. By the way I'd love to see your vision of a bush over the river:-)
Yep, still want those bushes ! o)

Hi George
"There you are... waiting for a bagel...at 5:30.
How nice indeed...I remember other times when studding after hours we ask for fresh hot bread and butter.
Such a POV and the perfect tones.
Thanks
Have a nice week
Cheers"
Big hug Bro!

I'm sure that I already wrote a critique for this one, what shall I write this time ?
=> Beautiful atmosphere, interesting environment, great colours and with the steam, it's a bit like a painting.
Bravo and best regards,
Cath.

Trudna sprawa do dawnych emocji powracać. Miałam rozwinąć - nie rowinęłam. Jak się teraz wpiszę, nie będzie mi już dane ;))
Dalej mi chodzą po głowie skojarzenia hefajstosowe i stwórcze, dżiny i geniusze się kłaniają i w jedną postać zlewają... choć to ponoć tylko bajgle powstają nad ranem ;)))
Pozdrowienia uśmiechnięte T.
