Weekly Photo Challenge: Waiting

weekly photo challenge No. 44: WAITING
NY, security routine
photo shot in Manhattan by FrizzText

waiting is realizing, that we sometimes have to cross a bridge into new situations – maybe human beings fall into a similar (prisoner’s) mood, waiting in a hospital for a doc’s diagnosis …

    Great shot! Waiting for answers from the Doc is definitely like prison.

    As an onion in WAITING
    I’ve shed several layers of seven
    seven time seven, i’ve shed…
    The question now in WAITING is:
    Will seven times ten ever shed?

    B&W photo is really dramatic. Great capture. I bet they were all waiting what’s gonna happen next.

  5. I carry my camera everywhere with me, hoping something interesting will happen. It never does. For you it obviously did! great catch/shot :)

  6. I wonder what they are waiting for. looks good in black and white

  7. nelsonRN says:

    The black-and-white effect adds to the vintage effect! I love it!

    This photo is full of some interesting drama :) http://wp.me/pdJ7S-rw

    Love you interpretation of this week’s challenge … as much as the message in your post!

  10. Robin says:

    One ends up waiting one’s whole life long… It never ends. One may as well learn to wait gracefully!

    a lot of drama, waiting.

    and I am waiting
    for a rebirth of wonder. . .”

    They must be scared to polices.

  13. Miles says:

    Fantastic shot :-)

  14. thirdhandart says:

    A very dramatic capture. I’d conjecture that the man in handcuffs is waiting to be booked.

  15. Vick Eian says:

    I like it, it’s so vintage and dramatic.

  16. tmso says:

    Excellent shot. I really like all the action in it. Took me awhile to find who was doing the waiting. Good job.

  17. Wolfgang Hermann says:

    life is long waiting on the dead

    but here is a funny interpretation :

  18. It is enthralling, Frizztext…. I love it!

  19. zingaling23 says:

    This photo is awesome and it looks like it could be from decades ago! Nice work, I love it!

  20. Once again you add a layer of complexity that I appreciate. Your post challenges me to interpret your interpretation. Thanks!

  21. Powerful shot FrizzText! I wouldn’t want to be doing that kind of waiting from the perspective of the guys in cuffs. I’d probably be hanging there waiting to see the whole thing unfold from the sidewalk though. Nosey I guess my self would be :)

  22. TBM says:

    Waiting can make you feel trapped. Love the interpretation.

  23. IsobelandCat says:

    Oh my! very dramatic.

  24. I agree with Brenda, it would never happen near me, great capture pardon the pun!

  25. Amar Naik says:

    nice shot

  26. Nandini says:

    This is great. Very nice :)

  27. Patti Kuche says:

    This has such a wonderful European tone about it, love it and the B & W is perfect!

  28. pix & kardz says:

    and then what happened? i can’t wait to find out :)
    all kidding aside, thanks for sharing this great post.

  29. Provokes the feeling of ‘waiting’ very well.

  30. Find Focus says:

    I really like the sense of drama and anticipation in this photo – great interpretation of this challenge! Now we’ll just be ‘waiting’ for the next photo challenge! (Sorry – that was corny, wasn’t it?) : )

  31. jbheronneau says:

    Excellent picture!
    Where did you shot that scene?
    I guess the guys will have to wait for a very long time… In jail :(

    Here is my post:

      I shot the scene in Manhattan, South of Central Park, near Columbus Circle; I was surprised how fast all worked! A white Porsche stopped the escaping vehicle, security stuff came from all streets in seconds; handcuffs out, down on your knee, basta! Don’t know, what they were accused for. Maybe Yoko Ono knows. They came from that direction …

  32. Jo Bryant says:

    great take on the theme for this week

  33. joshi daniel says:

    really waiting and curious!

  34. Great contrast in b&w, and then the story you captured here – stillness and movement. Really an awesome photo, thanks for sharing!

  35. Pat Bean says:

    Your photo made me laugh. Love it.

  36. 2e0mca says:

    Interesting thought to go with a fascinating photograph

  37. lorrelee1970 says:
