At the corner, Vancouver, Canada, 2009

This image expresses contrasts in life style. I found a clothing shop with windows on a corner facing two streets. The mannequins in those windows have no heads, and glow within the staid elegance of a vintage Vancouver building. I waited for several minutes as differently clad pedestrians passed this spot. I wanted my pedestrians to contrast as much as possible with the fashions displayed in the window. This pair of backpackers made it easy for me – they express just the kind of casual air I wanted to make the contrast with the formality of the expensive clothing in the window.

Thanks, Iris and Rob, for commenting on this image. I concur -- these men have other fish to fry.

Agree with Iris. They simply break the habitat euqilibrium, and this is cool!

Not only do they contrast with the fashions in the window, they could care less about them and don't even offer a glance in their direction. They clearly did not "lose their heads" over the expensive clothing in the windows.
