Two businessmen hanging out on a park bench near the National Mall in Washington, DC. This photograph captured in September, 1999 was taken by Jim Epler in the summer in Washington, DC in a park near the Mall. It is cataloged under the terms street photography, people, cities and urban scenes in this photography database.
The image was exposed on 35mm Kodak Tri-X 400 black & white film stock using a Pentax Asahi Spotmatic II camera with a Asahi Pentax 55mm f/2 lens.
Photographer Comments: I manged to snap a few good pictures of these two gentlemen hanging out on a park bench. They were thoroughly enjoying each other's company when I was shooting and were very animated in their conversations. I was surprised that they readily agreed to let me photograph them as they sat together. Again, to me it illustrates perfectly a "slice of life" moment and champions the natural beauty in human relations in its simplist form.
Additionally, Jim thought of search phrases (i.e. terms) that a person who is actively seeking pictures on the Internet related to this particular topic might employ when performing his or her exploration including the words bench, park bench, businessmen, middle eastern, speaking, men, chatting, Arabic and talking, so he included these on this details page as a service to himself and others who would like to download this royalty free photograph! |
