smoke and mirrors, originally uploaded by ValerieMorrisonPhotography.com.
two things going on here:
1. i was practicing my street photography technique; and
2. learning how to convert color images to b&w.
i hate PP, but sometimes it’s a necessary evil. i used Nik software for the conversion.
i actually like the image itself. i was focused on the man on the phone, then cigarette guy appeared in the frame as i pressed the shutter.
i think he adds something to the photo. what? i’m not sure.
