Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied.

Another inspiring set of photrographs, Jaco do you spend a lot of time searching and composing your shots or is it just second nature that you happen to capture unique perspectives and wonderful moments?

Love the series, in particular the ny 45, the old guy with the Bible??

Pictures of people seems to tell such a diverse story, jsut looking at them makes you wonder what they are thinking/doing in their lives.

Were are these shot using your 3 rules??

All great shots. You make me want to go badly.

Number 34 is hilarious - that old woman is trying not to be obvious, but staring at that woman's behind!

What a wonderful set of images. I guess NY would have to be a photographer's paradise, and you have captured the diversity and vibrancy of the city and its citizens beautifully - well done.

Great shots. I had dinner in New York recently (don't ask why it wasn't there longer, I am a Melbounite) and found it a city where I could shoot a thousand shots. I find your shots inspirational for my return. I will try to post something decent in the future.

jaco you have a tremendously powerful grasp of some very crucial elements in photography - framing, composition and timing that delivers a poignancy in your social comment that is visually quite compelling. You have an obvious talent in this type of photography, keep 'em cummin'. You are da man!

Another fine selection from the hub Jaco.

#55 I find to be emotional for some strange reason and I really like #58 Bus Stop.

#61 :?: Coincidence or by design :!:
