Computers for Fortune Tellers

Wow, you can't even get an 'old fashioned' fortune teller without a computer now a days.

Dan,
I like the composition. What I find interesting is your use of Black and White and the fortune teller is using a computer.

Interesting subject, and like Dolph said, good use of B&W to emphasize the mix of "old fashioned" and modern.

Rather than shoot straight-on, another take on this would have been to move in closer with a wide angle, and shoot from a lower and closer angle to the fortune teller. The wide perspective would have emphasized the computer (it's not as noticeable in this picture), and would also still show the mannequin and sign in the background, at an angle.

yeah i was also going to say, the vintage monochrome-ness is an interesting compliment to the computer fortune telling! makes you look to the future, when computers may seem like an OLD and outdated technology :O *gasp* WILL THAT REALLY HAPPEN???
