Captain James Landing - Canton

Captain James Landing - Canton (Baltimore, MD)I've driven past this unusual restaurant, Captain James Landing, many times before. But today, I had my camera with me, so I parked the car and took some photos.

As I often do with interesting flat vertical areas like this, I framed an image and waited for someone to walk into it. Several people did within the next 15 minutes, but this young woman made for the most compelling photo.

Steve, great use of geometric shapes. The circles and horizontal lines created an interesting juxposition of elements.

This image has many great elements in it including bold colors, lines, shapes, and even a human factor thrown in for good measure :).

I had an opportunity to see a sequence of raw street shots taken by a PJ, and I could clearly see his technique and I could follow the progression of his shots. He employed the same technique described by Steve here, where he would see an interesting scene or setting, then wait for the appropriate person to walk into the frame.

I've done this a bit too, and it really works.
