[Leica] Game Day - some additional images

[abridge at gmail.com (Adam Bridge)]

Here are a few more images from my Game Day sequence taken before
minor league and spring training baseball games.

These young fellows were hankering for some serious street cred:

While, a row over, this guy was perched and cooly chatting up three girls:

I think there's a place in hell, probably near the center, for the
person who invented "thunder sticks" but for these kids they were one
of the planet's great delights. Their mom, however, probably agrees
more with me.

And this family came to enjoy the open air and the hot dogs:

All shot with the 1Ds MkII and 24-70 f2.8L Canon glass. When I know
I'm going to be making black and white images I almost always shoot at
high ISO to get the texture I like in the images. These were shot at
ISO 1600 and most are shot wide open.

Comments welcome.

ps: a note - this isn't "street photography". I talk to all of these
people, usually for a while before I make these images. They appear as
they desire appear with no coaching for me. The kids in the first
image where alive and spontaneous and then, as the camera was lifted,
they slipped into this personna that I just found fascinating. I do
believe the work stands by itself but I did want to be up front about
how I work while I shoot these.
