I liked this last group, Tony.
About the Edward Hopper couple. Your picture made me realize the effect bodily contours can have on the atmosphere of the picture.
The couple you photographed, although separated and with its back to the observer exhales a calm and even friendly atmosphere due to their soft round contours.
In Hopper the sharp contours usually suggest an implacable hard loneliness.
Thanks. True, it's street photography - and I would not have chosen them as models due to their formless figures, but it somehow works. There is a massive disconnect between them though, life bees like that.Quote:

The people on you island look all lonely. But that is probably the perspective of the photographer.
I would say they are melancholic. Maybe they are expressions of self-portraiture, at times. Not all the time, though, happily.Quote:

I can confirm that she is much in a world of her own, ha. I like your point on the rounded people sitting at the boardwalk. skinny people would give in a more aggressive edge.Quote:
