yay! love these. are you testing sequencing too? see some good (nonobvious, nonobtrusive) connections here

Yeah I'm working on sequencing too

Just made a minor move of an image

do you love them enough to forgive 龜 for speaking in the turt' person

nakh! :o

they are very good indeed

the gweilos all look so disreputable, even with the proviso that they are mostly working in finance

We called them FILTH (failed in london, try hongkong)

(i aukcept it in this case)

should’ve noted lol FILTH before my deadly pun there. anyway, re what i <3 here, among other things:

lushness of b&w night. humans rapt amid city lights, puts me in mind of like louis faurer’s nyc at night

graceful “accidental” composition to all of these, compelling foci but worth looking through whole frame from edge to edge to edge to edge (such richness in the “background”; background /adjacent figures are puncta here)

hard not to sound corny but street is as much capture of photog’s eye-heart as capture of object: acerbic witty observation of humans but also real poignance/ affection here

you zero in as much on the individual private moment (self alone/ absorbed with self (on public stage)) as fleeting fragile connections between creatures (and both things at same time)

etc

Tyvm for the kind words drash

BTW this is where they were taken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Valley_Racecourse

Replaced a photo

just wanna say i love these 龟
guy holding cigarette for the girl arms crossed
