How do you pick >your drive by subjects? Strictly by Office for Homeland Security guidelines, of course!!! Actually, you could make the case that they pick me. I was waiting at a light when I took this picture, snapping pix of cars turning on to the street I was on. This fellow walked by just as this car was going past in the other direction. It's hard to know for sure what you will get taking these kinds of pictures. I am starting to get a feel for those occasions when the odds of something interesting happening are fairly good. This was an exciting moment in that way. What I mostly like about this picture is the transparencies and reflections and the fact that so much is happening. It's not that easy to see on line but there are some interesting things going on in the reflections on the passing car. For one, none of them are blurred, because everything reflected is stationary. -- Alan P. Hayes Pittsfield, Massachusetts <http://www.meaningandform.com/photography> <mailto:ahayes@berkshire.rr.com>
