I’m a big fan of photos such as this where regular people are shot against large advertising billboards. The funny thing is that I have a real love-hate relationship with advertising on city streets. It create a lot of visual noise to the point that I would consider it as pollution but I still find myself attracted to them in terms of photographic opportunities. Makes me feel very conflicted 🙂
Same feelings here, Cedric. I am quite sure I wouldn’t miss anything at all if public relations would disappear – but sometimes they give wonderful contrasting elements for such images.

Ja, der Welt ein bißchen einen Spiegel vorhalten – leider funktioniert das nicht oft so gut wie hier.
Talking on the cell phone really makes this one.
Thanks, Carl! I have three frames from this subject, without and with another pedestrian, but this one definitely works.
