An interesting variety of these iconic photos. I'm glad you captured some of these venues as they are places I would not want to be. Loved the individual portraits, you certainly recorded the essence of some of these characters. I especially like the multi-colored guys.

These are great! You really excel at these types of shots, Iris.
I imagine others would wait 3 weeks for the right compo to appear; you interpret what is there!
Super! V

Our city looks pretty gritty, except for the Getty Center. Love Gettytecture and your clever labels are back. Hooray!

You keep on improving your eye for incongruity here. You are also simplifying your compositions as well. I enjoyed the vitality and spontaneity in them, too.

As always, such interesting work! I'm trying to learn from your photos and I'm actually seeing an improvement in mine.

Along with the labels, great narratives are expressed in your portraits. I love all your people. You certainly have the photographer's eye for composition: finding unique ways of showing simple scenes such as the Kaleidoscope. But my favorite has to be Marilyn Monroe's incarnation and friend. It is so beautifully spontaneous!
