Street Photo - Suspicious 'i'

Street Photo - Chilled Sip In The Shade

It's been 3 months since my last blog post. It's 2021 and today is the third day of Chinese Lunar New Year. I stepped out of the house, walking on the streets with my Vivitar PN2011 point-and-shoot 35mm film camera. I got nothing in mind to shoot. Just walk and walk. Keeping a look out for interesting characters. I took several frames and yet to complete the roll.

I was walking around Chinatown and came to this spot where this sunlight hit upon this notice board and a red colored pillar. This scene reminded me of a photo I once made at this spot 9 years ago. Click here for the photo.

I thought it was a good lighting and hope to get some interesting street photos. Hence I stood nearby to get the composition with my iPhone 6 Plus on Camera+. Then I waited for a few minutes for the right subject to walk by into the sunlight area. A few people walked by and many shots were made. When I thought I was done and about to leave, this short gentleman came by and stood still right there at the edge of the shade. He took his time to enjoy his Coke. He took a few sips and held still in that position for a few moments, as if he was in deep thoughts. I took the chance to make a few shots.

In this photo presented above, I was trying to connect his can of Coca Cola to the red colored pillar, though they are obviously unrelated but somehow their cylindrical shapes are. Another color is present in this street scene i.e. the subject's green colored polo T-shirts against the signage and foliage in the far background.

One part of this street scene that I like is the subject's cast shadow, which was caused by the reflected sunlight on the notice board. The lighting effect was nice and it made the subject stood out instead of blending into the dark shade.
