Here's some photos I took a little while back, while I was downtown.
This is my first real attempt at a photo shoot.

Nice portraits! I guess like most big cities in Europe and North America it's infested by huge numbers of pigeons but they do look cute in your photo though.
and I hope that woman knows that she was smoking a cancer stick . I think my favorite is #5 the closeup shot of a payphone but they are all great shots.

Aha, thank you, thank you very much! I'm glad you like them!
And yeah, here the pigeon numbers are ridiculous. Trying to get that shot, I was standing on ground covered in (hopefully dried) bird shit. They even nearly shit on my camera.
As for the woman, she probably thinks nothing of it, seeing as it's so commonplace here. But it's definitely a bad thing.

Lol futu xD I love saying cancer stick<3 Didn't think anyone else but me used that word Got it from the book Rumble Fish I think ... Or one of S.E hinton's awesome novels :]

Anyways @ the pictures, very nice! I really like the pidgin one it looks very professional Where were they taken? By the looks of people I'd have to guess it's some European city but that theory contradicts the fact that I'm pretty sure those blue street signs on the city portrait are American one's XD

Edit* Hm and now I saw that you live in Canada so I'm royally confused xD Canada, Europe or America? haha.

haha well I usually call cigarettes cancer sticks or in Swedish "cancer pinnar" I think I got it from a movie or TV series but I dont remember which lol.

You know if you have ever been to Canada some of the cities here look just like American cities with not to so clean and worn streets and lots of huge trucks and SUVs. I think the traffic lights are identical to those in the states, at least those I have seen in Baltimore. Just like living in the states you can't really go anywhere without a vehicle and I think the only people who use the public transportation are kids and hobos. The funny thing is there are actually people here in Canada who think we should do something about the global warming and saving the environment which is really laughable because of all the huge thirsty vehicles they keep driving around maybe they are just stupid and don't know driving a car is the most polluting act an average citizen commits especially those who drive a truck or a suv. stupid hypocrites

lmao xD Could it have been a old b/w film ? Than it's rumble fish. They made some crappy movie out of that book and as far as I know that's the only place they say it So I take it this is in Canada? XD Haha.

how do you get that quality in a picture?

i have a 6.0 mp nikon coolpix... but the quality is disgusting.

Thanks

pigeon shot is excellent.

the first photo has potiental but the exposure is grossly acute

the third photo is just awkward; not feeling it at all
