The Nobleman

Doesn't matter who you are, but if you stand so elegantly, you are in fact a Nobleman.

A Framed

Many people, tourists and regular residents sit on the steps of Federal Hall overlooking Wall Streetildin.  They can appreciate the history with the large George Washington statue depicting the event of his swearing in as first president on this spot.  The windows reflect the modern buildings surrounding the Stock Exchange building in front.

The Headlock

I was walking north on Broadway when I came across this couple in an interesting headlock position.  

Headlock North

Turning so I got an angle looking downtown made the shot even more interesting.

Unposed

I'm attracted to how certain people on the street may be standing or gesturing.  It occured to me that these poses are actually tried and true positions that are frequently used by models.  Crossed legs, arms behind the head, and props make a picture more interesting.  Here are some pictures I've taken that may look posed but they weren't.  

Here was a smoker on a break.

This woman was waiting for a bus.  

The arm behind the head pose.  

This one is more like a commercial but was totally unposed.
