Description My Submission for the Photojournalism : LIFE contest

Photography > Photojournalism > People

This was taken in the bus on my ride to school, I thought it would make a good photo because it represents life, life through travel, public transportation for economy or by need, and equality between age, sex and race.

Post-process: Added vignette, adjusted levels and slightly desaturated.

does he know you made that picture of him?
I always wonder if people mind it when there's a picture taken from them...

I love it btw.

No I did not ask, but I am allowed since he is not easily recognizable.
If he would have been I would have been legally obliged to ask.

Thanks

How often I feel like that on a bus...

It captures the mood very well. Also makes one realize just how alone we can be in life (in a good way). Very nice job

Its the other way around,
We are never alone in life, we just don't realize it.
We feel alone, so we don't reach out.

Thank you

Oh... Opps. Your meaning has so much more optomism than mine.

No problem
