I really didn't see the wink until I made the b&w conversion. Taken outside of a cafe that was not quite open. There is a guy sitting in the car, but he got lost in the lensbaby.
I like that, "lost in the lensbaby" - what other subjects I wonder have succumbed to its power? For some reason here, the LB effect on those lit windows makes me think it's a split second before an explosion - perhaps the car is closing its eyes as an involuntary response. :)
All these So-Cal Noir street surveillance shots of yours are turning into one of the real features of this thread. They are like cheap crime novels from the 1950's, which were so much more full of the juices of life than the oh-so-politically-correct-and-sensitive-and-inclusive-and-non-judgmental novels of more recent times. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh with the "cheap" epithet, but I meant it as a compliment. I think I'll elevate you to Elmore Leonard status, so there's no doubt about how admirable I think they are.
