He didn't even have a Canon, so we have no excuse! Gulp!

Wot you mean?? He had a Leica, we have no chance!
Now let me see.... b&w, no cropping, capture the moment... Come back quick Lee!!!!!

Looks like a little street photography is the answer.....should be a very interesting challenge.

I am going to be traveling on Thursday so I hope it is ok if I enter my photo a little early. Here is my humble attempt. This was taken late at night towards the end of the San Diego Indie Music Fest.

So we have to use film, huh?

One of the masters of the street indeed and one of my early heroes on the photographic side of things.
The real title of this challenge should be "The Decisive Moment!".

One of his most well known images is this one:

Here's what he had to say about it:

"There was a plank fence around some repairs behind the Gare Saint-Lazare train station.
I happened to be peeking through a gap in the fence with my camera at the moment the man jumped."

I'm travelling on Thursday too. Thankfully it will involve travelling via London so I may be in luck...

OK, Dan....waiting for your 1,000th post

Thanks to Bev for a great idea this week!!!
I'm really looking forward to everyone's "moments"!

My 1000th post is dedicated to Ray Pettit and Marcel Duchamp.

Marcel always seems to be in the populars on Pbase, no matter what he posts.
Ray is always in my populars despite what he posts.

excellant challenge! guess i'm off to town then! It might be a late thursday evening entry for my part though. good luck everyone...and enjoy!
