The Seventh Day

18 07 2009

Well, I’ve reached day seven of my week of photos and its probably just as well as I was running out of ideas.  Thanks to all who viewed and commented. I can’t thank you enough for the kind words and encouragement—you guys are the best.  Cheers, FJ.

Just some fucking guys

That moment! Well captured. I like the humor :)
Also, just stumbled by your blog, and must mention that I really liked Day One and Three! Good going Robert, and keep it coming!

Again, the title sums this up to a tee. Picture perfect, if I may, commentary of typical male behavior.

Ironic… Was listening to a report that our President just got caught on camera doing the same thing. I cannot confirm this but I am sure our press will spin it, “he was seeing what brand of skirt she was wearing so he could buy the same thing for his lovely wife”
FJ, this is a great photo, looks set up but I know you, you caught it! Great job.

I have to apologize. I don’t know how I haven’t been here for a whole week. I’m glad I could catch up on all 7 days of photos. You really are talented my friend. You blog never disappoints. Did these guys ever realize you took their picture?

They didn’t. Nice to see you CC.

Hahaha!

You bastard. I had planned to title my memoirs “Just some fucking guys”

Right. Guess I’ll have to go with “I Was a Teenage Hummingbird Cake”

sigh

And I got you a left-handed hammer and everything…

2% or homogenized? There’ s a significant difference.

There’s some in the steam pipe. I could probably get to it if it wasn’t for all the damn steam.

I don’t know what it is but something really irritates me about guys acting macho and tough walking around with 4 dollar frappuccinos. Great commentary! I am saddened by the close of the week in photos. It was a nice treat!

Thanks Scott, no worries bro, there will be plenty of photos coming up.

You all are wrong. They aren’t staring at the girls butt. They are looking at the garbage can. She dropped a half eaten sandwich in the garbage can and they are both wondering if it is OK to grab it out and finish it.

Ha!

Well played. Now YOU understand men.

You mean you were able to sneak up on them, crouch down, angle the photo just right and they never noticed you?? (or else you got a darn good zoom) You da’ man, FJ!!

I was holding my camera at bellybutton level and just fired when I saw this, that it worked out is partly luck. Thanks YnB.

HA! I love it!

I’m surprised the guy on the right can even hold up his sandwich…

I actually have additional photos of these guys…maybe I’ll put one up sometime. Thanks bs.

A backpack and a visor? Where I come from we spell that “pussy magnet.”

I’m sorry I haven’t been in to comment on all the photos, FJ. Since I normally go off-topic (along with Alan) it probably wasn’t missed. Everything you’ve posted has been a great shot, leaving me to stare sullenly at my camera, occasionally pointing at the monitor and asking, “Why can’t you be more like that?”

Anyway, serious question for you: what kind of camera(s) are you using? I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered.

I have a Canon Rebel XT DSLR (10 mp if I’m not mistaken). In my hands, it generally turns into a very bulky and expensive point-and-shoot.

Anyway, kudos on the photography. It’s fantastic stuff.

Thanks CLT, I have an old trusty Nikon D70 and a couple of lens and that’s it. I am thinking of upgrading next year (pixel fever). Cheers, FJ.

Wow, Monica Lewinsky has kept her weight off! Good for her!

Vicki, That is beautiful! She is just on her way to the cleaners to pick up a “dress”.

HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!! Timm! Are you sure she “is” on her way there…Whatever, “is”, “is”!

People, sometimes a “dress” is just a semen stain…er…”dress.”

FJ, I sure hope you put some coinage in their hats because those boys need to eat something. What’s their schtick, anyway? Will drink pricey coffee for food? Scarecrows for hire?

It truly is beautiful that you could capture this moment so perfectly. The rare view of the male Homo sapiens in his natural habitat when he is unaware that he is being watched. Cheers!

I had to come back and look at this photo. This is a brilliant shot. Cartier Bresson style. Street shooting, takes an eye and confidence, you’ve got it! I want to see more.

That’s a great photo FJ. Sorry I’m late. I’ve been struggling to keep up lately.

Nice work.
