Main St. Photo Gallery by Raymond Ma at pbase.com

Main St.

A street where I feel at home. A street where I work.
An eclectic mix of coffee and tea houses, vintage clothing boutiques and antique stores intermingled
with a variety of small eateries...the street has a Bohemian feel to it which I love.
I have spend many lunch hours enjoying walks up and down Main St. exploring
its various shops and soaking up the character of the place.
It’s become an old friend whom I know so well.

This gallery just gets better and better Raymond, wish I could vote again!

Guest		06-Dec-2010 17:14
This is a really fascinating project Raymond, IMO all the more valuable for being local. I particularly like the introspective, slightly sombre mood and the strong compositions with all those quirky juxtapositions, angular viewpoints and strong diagonals. You have a real gift for extracting simplicity from complexity and for seeing surprising details in everyday scenes. BV

katjas		06-Dec-2010 10:12
wonderful mood and compositions! V

Carol How		06-Dec-2010 09:37

Raymond this is a great gallery full of fantastic images. Marc Demoulin hits it on the head when he states that your pictures have soul. These snatches of life in any other hands would be just 'snap shots' but you have put your heart and soul into these masterpiece captures and have managed to convey that emotion to your viewers. Big vote and very best wishes - Richard UK

Dan Greenberg		29-Nov-2010 18:43
I love the way you have used subdued light and color and the, many times, unusual cropping to make the user more curious about the environment these images were taken from. The gallery as a whole makes a wonderful artistic statement. Very well done! ~BV~
