Actually, it did as much for me as most of the subway shots posted recently. I have been rethinking a lot of comments regarding street photography that the Deadman posted a few years ago. Occasionally just showing the human condition is enough to make an image work, most of the time all you have is a banal shot of people with no revelations about humans, the human condition, stupid human tricks, inhumanity, or simple humor. Most of the time, the most mundane of snapshots taken of a normal group of humans has more meaning than the typical streeet photo. Just check out the piles of images that SonC deals with in Louisiana. In a hundred years just seeing what people wear, eat, relate, pecking order relationships is pretty interesting. Anyway, the humor is now appreciated.
