Cop Busting Frank![]() Riding my bicycle down
Hollywood Boulevard yesterday I saw cops busting Frank, a homeless man in a wheel-chair. I stopped to take a photo, and the cop. noticing me noticing him doing his job, if it can be called that - arresting homeless and handicapped men seeking some escape - held up Frank's glass crack pipe and said, "Make sure you get this in the picture." And I did. CommentsSyd's Photography

Another home run. The way the composition supports the story...just...slays me.
Love the square format (would make an uber-hip CD cover!), how you've lined the heads up on a diagonal, offsetting the horizontals which make up the entire frame, including the line of both mens' eyes & mouths. & of course, the pipe.
The neutrality of expression, straightness of both mouths emphasized by the backdrop horizontals, smug repressed smile of the cop, slightly bemused(?) resignation on Frank. So much psychological subtlety going on here.
Dang!
