Well, I'm back.
First of all I want to say thank you so much everyone for your kind responses to the previous post. It really means a lot to me. I couldn't find the right mood to reply to all your wonderful comments; but I promise I will.


And now, here is my contribution to "Street Photography Challenge", issued by Damon Schreiber. Thanks Damon! :)
Here is my semi-BW shot for the day! At least I've desaturated it a little bit! I'm a big fan of BW shots, but now that we are all supposed to post BWs, I've chosen a selective color! Breaking the habits! :D
I have to admit that I've developed a great interest in selective color effect, and for me it's become a strong rival to BW mode!


This shot, among over 500 others, is a result of my very long walk in the city. It took from 10:30 AM to about 7 PM. Pure walking, except for two short taxi rides. I didn't even have lunch! I was aware of the general directions but I had no idea where I was heading! I found myself in a kind of rural place in the northern parts of Tehran near Kolak-chal. And then I just headed back south. I do take this kind of walks every now and then when I can't take anything anymore. It helps.


He suddenly noticed me! I like the look in his eyes.
BTW the words written on the wall, near a parking door say Parking=Your tire will get punctured!
They are serious, aren't they? :D


Let's rock the streets of the world! Count me in!

While I really do appreciate your visits and comments, I might not be able to comment back or to reply to all your great comments on a regular basis.
You're wonderful. Thank you.
