What is the point?
Poor B&W PP?
Point of interest?

Place this in the gallery, I am sure you will have the appreciation you crave. In the main channel? Not so much.

Also, I am pretty sure the driver will appreciate having his license plate published.

Aside, if you had discussed long exposure and its erasure of transients in the image... typical is the removal of people from a long exposure of people walking in front of what you want to photograph. The people walking in the image are not recorded because in the short time they are there they do not affect the overall long exposure with the Hi-Density filter. Then this would be an example of "almost there" showing the semi-removal of the truck... making the truck somewhat transparent; we see thru it seeing the building. But you would need to make it detailed and open for discussion.

Titles are important... example... "Ghost Truck"

As-is... Rongnongno that the image as present belongs in the gallery.

Some folks never pass up an opportunity to be unkind...on Easter no less.

I was born and raised in the Steel City. Long since moved away. Go Central, beat Centennial.

Re the photo. Downtown where, exactly? I can't quite place it. In any event, it looks like you were having fun with long exposures. Good for you. In this case obviously there were passing cars and you caught the truck. The plate does not matter...its not like we can go "run" it and find out where the person lives and steal their mojo.

I read somewhere recently that good photos are enemies of great photos. How true that is. This is a good photo, but there are some excellent venures in Pueblo that deserve your attention. The Neon Alley off Union is one such place. It is my preference to have people in my photos...with them showing movement or blurry a bit. It might be a cool thing.

One of my many unfulfilled projects would be to do a photo essay of Pueblo...the taverns, the Mill, the Mesa, Union, some of the wonderful buildings downtown. And Salt Creek, Bessemer, Bojon Town and Dog Patch. It is a diverse place.

The cranky pants are right...this post belongs in Gallery, but that is a trifling.

I'd bet few people even know what we're talking about!

Now go to Coors, have a slopper and be happy.

I too was raised in Pueblo. Went to Central. Embarrased to say that all those years I lived there, I always new what a Slopper was, but never tried one. :(

Did you ever do your photo essay of Pueblo?

Green Chili on Xmas Eve. What could be better?

Do speak for yourself. In case you did not notice, the reaction was on the 30th, not the 31st.

So who is posting negative reviews on easter?

A silly question, right?

That said, you come to the defense of the poster 'experimental artwork', but there is no single element worth anything here.

And YES, this is posted today, on easter. And YES easter means nothing to me.

I hope you notice the absence of caps on 'easter'. All 'religious events' have been created to replace 'pagan' festivities. Hence, no caps. In the case of easter, it was a celebration of the German goddess Eostre - the Goddess of Dawn. Easter is also associated with the suppression of the spring celebrations.

In all cases, pagan or not, one thing stays constant, every time folks over indulge.

So easter? Another in a long list of hypocritical 'replacement'.

Like you I am not religious but my moral compass tells me to be a bit kinder when I can. I think most people are just trying to live a nice life. Unless they do something overtly to offend I see no reason for rancor.

As I said this photo is good (or maybe a bit less) but I offered encouragement of other ideas. Further, if we look in the gallery there are not a lot of noteworthy shots there. But they don’t ask for critique and it is not usually offered.

Further, a side benefit of this post was the opportunity for a few Puebloans to reminisce and make a bit of connection. Why not just look at the post and move on? Or be curious? It is a very unique place.

I see the religious holidays as an inspiration in the spirit of the event. Pagan or not.

Lots of bad stuff happening in the world. I chose to not add to it unless provoked.

Happy Easter

No slopper? What? You jest!

Btw. My beloved step grandpa was a Bojon. A term I’ve not heard anywhere else. Still have family in Pueblo. A fascinating place.

But I’d prefer San Diego anytime. Headed there soon to go pluck a few blue fin from the waters.

Go Central !

Rongnongno, me thanks that Hip Coyote's "Moral-Compass" goes to the strongest magnet and is at times spinning. HC said nothing about the "Night of Living Dead" movie-inspired image in today's Photo Art section. Easter No Less !! HC will think it is belittling the raising of Christ from the dead. I was surprised today that many people exiting the church I passed were wearing gold tennis shoes...

Nice work, Saside!

Rongnongno What a happy camper you are. Back in the day your portrait was on most pirate flags.

Interesting image Saside. I see that you are hearing from the "Take the Joy out Photography" advocaters.
