Artist's Comments

As two of my fellow GD's can attest, Granville street in Vancouver is a hotspot of activity on ANY night. However, this was a saturday night.

This guy was just getting arrested for Drunk and disorderly fighting after observing a fight across the street..

Two arrests, ten minutes, same corner.

This guy wasnt as vocal as the guy in the paddywagon in the background.. The first guy to get arrested was huge. Took on 4 decent sized guys before being subdued by a small female cop.

I hear one guy remark to his group: "The guy was huge.. probably 7ft tall, but I bet he feels smaller after being taken down by a 5ft5 female cop!"

Yeah, Van at night is fun, i want to go down there again when i have a nice film body.. This was digital

b/w conversion and levels, no sharpen

I was actually shooting on in-camera monochrome, but processed the RAW file instead of a JPEG

98% of teenagers do or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% who hasn't, copy & paste this on your signature.

I'm not yelling, I just enjoy using the shift key

I like the way the picture itself is framed.

The expressions are also very nice, but I find myself in awe at my judgment of the world- I never would have thought a clean cut guy like that could get in trouble.

:shrug: but hey, that's what photography is about- capturing the truth in the moment.

PGTF mofo!

It is in my humble opinion that you need a wider lens :)

You wouldn't worry so much about what people really thought of you if you knew just how seldom they actually do.
