Players in the city

These people don`t like when you are photographer and shoot them in such kind of games. They are always keep themself natural during the game - untill the man with the camera not coming closer.
The interesting thing about these people in they origin tradition to play games like chess in the garden or small parks. They don`t care about transport and streets, pollutions and surround. They just play,observing the game, talking and joking.

    Good street scene style photography. This picture shows us the way of life that is around us in the area in which we live. With this picture you have captured its essence.
    Best wishes, Ken

    Wim, you proubably will not easily understand it but it was a time long ago when i just took first time digital camera in hand. I was just walking around this square situated near my home - 50m from me. It is small garden where people just sitting and doing nothing. Some of them use background like a bus station. Some оust coming to play chess or another games like domino, backgammon on checkers. It was a problem to reduce photo. You never see in another countries traditions to gathering toghether and play games in gardens when two of them playing and many just stand and see what`s happening. If you want i can send you original size..

    I really love this photo,
    the stance and expressions of the players makes me
    want to hear their stories.
    The man at the end, intriguing. Alone yet not so.

    Tradition in spite of the world around them.

    Simply Beautiful!

    Thanks to friends for comments. Tell you truth - i didn`t expect to see something good about this small player`s show here. Histories about city much more interesting then i`ve seen moments frome life in another cities. And everething because people activity. Its` not change since Soviets came here in 1917....
    I`m not paparazzi. I dont have such good lens for making tele photo. :)

    A lovely scene.
    So you are kind of a paparazzi ?.
    :o)))
    You live in a beautiful country, where life is still a great community, with all the advantages like solidarity and togetherness.
    An impressive picture.
