Old boys - Sunnyjun Jo




My camera is currently out of order. The shutter is not open entirety. I found that after developing this role of film. Accidentally cropred image. Interesting result. My camera is now in repairing.

Very intriguing image

Somehow this is a very sinister image. It looks like a kind of double mug shot, or at least it suggests something criminal. Anyway, it's one of the best things I've seen here recently.

What a great accident

I love this! The bizarre glam glasses on what otherwise looks like a couple of middle aged toll booth operators makes this downright exotic. Who are these guys?

Happinstance

pays off sometimes. Lovely light and expressions. I wonder if the whole shot would have looked as good?

very endearing....

great character and looks like it would have been a strong image regardless of any mechanical intervention - good fortune has certainly favoured you... a very fresh perspective..

Wow!

What characters.

What a hoot

This really is a pair of characters, and the unusual framing somehow seems to emphasize the notion. The caps and glasses are so incongruous. I enjoy this photo very much. --Rick

Nice shot!

If they had been 1930s Italian would you have thought Mafia? They are probably nice old guys to boot. Do you have a panaroma shot ability on your camera? It might be set. Tom

Cropping is such a difficult art.

This chance photo is, as the many comments attest, very special because. in part, of the great crop. If you turn your mind a certain way, there is no humor in this image.

"Lucky" accident

I think this is marvellous, and gives rise to all sorts of speculation about the people. :-)
