Yes Betsy, i am familiar with that website. very informative. Thank you
Also thanks so much for that poem. Very meaningful. It very much descibes how I feel while photographing! -and also how i feel about my own existence. These images are my way of feeling somewhat connected to this world, which I often feel alienated from in many ways.

I can never come up wih great titles for my photos, this sure is one. Very film noir -- I see Richard Widmark meeting John Garfield, plotting to bump off Barbara Stanwyck. It adds so much to the intrigue. This is one of those shots that benefits from being too dark, too muddy, with questionable focus. It screams street, a genre I appreciate but am too timid to attempt. My research shows that this camera is a rangefinder with great glass. Have you seen this site?

I also looked up the Lynx you mentioned, sounds promising.
I'm realllllly not the poet type, but this is one of my favorites from the film noir era and I think it is appropriate here:
The Street
A long silent street.
I walk in blackness and I stumble and fall
and rise, and I walk blind, my feet
stepping on silent stones and dry leaves.
Someone behind me also stepping on stones, leaves:
if I slow down, he slows;
if I run, he runs. I turn: nobody.
Everything dark and doorless.
Turning and turning these corners
which lead forever to the street
where nobody waits for, nobody follows me,
where I pursue a man who stumbles
and rises and says when he sees me: nobody.
---Octavio Paz

Wonderful image. Very cinematesque... 2 detectives discussing their maneouvre, before breaking into the underground jazz club (60s very Casavetes). I'm impressed and inspired! Bravo - Cherie

The atmosphere here is very good. The image gives a real sense of secrecy like the title suggests. However, I think that there is too much light at the end of the road, between the very dark buildings. Then I would crop from the bottom ut to the line on the right.
Nevertheless, I think this is a pretty good shot
Regards
