Gail, Warren & Dolph

The four of us got together a about a week ago to go shoot in Goldengate park, followed by dinner.
Here's the picture of Dolph I was taking when Warren snapped the last photo:

I've been living with a colorful octogenarian these past three months and it has been a blast. As my internship comes to an end this coming week and I fly out. I'll miss being her technology coach and disagreeing with her about practically everything.

The below illustrates an episode from a few Sundays ago:

Saturday with Warren Roll 1

Hey guys,
I met up with Warren and a couple other photography (/gear) enthusiasts in SF a couple weekends ago. I developed a roll of film from that day and here are some of the pictures.
I know this is the friendly photo forum but some friendly constructive criticism goes a long way :)
Best,
Keshav

Veteran dogwalker

I often see this old guy walking his dog on my way back from work. I usually stop and talk with him and he tells me about the dogs and stuff. He told that he used to be in the Navy at some point.

I need some help with editing. I'd be very grateful if you could help me edit these down to the top 3 images. Let me know in the comments why you feel some images should be included and others not.

Thank you!

Scale

Hagia Sofia, Istanbul, Turkey.
At first glance you might miss the girl taking a "selfie" in the arch. I also found the contrast between her human scale and the gigantic calligraphic panel quite striking.

Frankfurt Airport, Germany.

I had just got off a long flight from New York and had a longer flight to New Delhi to look forward to so I was eager to stretch my legs and check out my new camera so I started photographing strangers who were surprisingly obliging and unsuspecting. I had a great time and was lucky to get this portrait.

 

Puerto Rico, USA.

That's my dad inspecting the bottle of beer I had ordered with our meal. I think he was trying to figure out if real Trappist monks brewed the beer or not. Turns out it is. In case you are a beer aficionado - Rochefort Brewery.

6th Av. New York City.

This is the giant Robert Indiana Love sculpture on 6th Av. There's a constant line of tourists waiting to be clicked in front of it. If I had the patients, I would stand there for hours taking pictures of tourists as they carefully arranged themselves in from of the piece, each person changing the meaning and context of the four letter word.

San Francisco, CA

I saw her lost in thought at the side of the road. She noticed me an instant before I took the photo but played along. I love it when people do that.
