At first glance this just looks like a man standing next to a tree. But when you look at his feet, you realize that he's about 5 inches away from it. When I walked by him he was just about hugging the tree.
Street shooting photography for the most part is very subtle. The people in the frame are unaware and discreet from others around, so the photo's require some time to look at.
















Worcester is a huge town, but I was always a little reluctant to call it a city. It's not because Worcester has no skyscrapers, but because the people are so sparse during the day. When walking downtown, there is never huge crowds or the need to swerve-walk around people. Worcester is undeniably a quiet and humble place, but at the same time it has a very lonely feel. The huge plazas and mulitple parking lots seem to give people excuses to keep distant from one another.
In many of my street photos I try to frame the space and between pedestrians. This photo is trying to do the same thing. If you look to the left of the frame you'll notice three friends interacting, which i think compliments the loner to right fairly well.
