Wonderfully done. I wonder what was distracting the one fellow. Obviously the meeting wasn't capturing his complete attention.

This is so good. Your soft "street" candids are remarkable. And, these scenes always remind me of the town where I grew up. BV

Good one and seems like they are missing someone.

I like it too.. it has that feel of the story frozen for a second, makes you want to start the reel again
