Valladolid - Cowboys in Spain?

Am enjoying the daily walks looking for interesting images, stories,
or whatever piques my interest. 

Popped into a neighborhood bar to buy lunch to take back to the apartment.
 I thought the smooth weathered bar, wooden stools, decorations, and lighting gave that old-west frontier feel to the place. 

At the end of the bar sat what appeared to be a lean Spanish Cowboy reading his iPhone, 
with a half-empty beer glass in front of him.
He, with his wide-brim hat and denim jacket slung over a chair, topped it off.

The only thing missing is a dancehall girl flashing a red garter, bright red lips, and a small mole...
 Miss Kitty, we are back in Gunsmoke land.



I love images that will conjure up a story in your mind. 
Having a vivid imagination aids the narrative.

Finding common everyday images that read like a novel is a fun challenge 
with pleasant surprises when they appear.
No models, no actors, no special lighting, nothing preplanned. 

Just stay alert to what is going on around you, 
then grab the shot before life moves on.


Enjoy...

  1. Nice capture. However, I see despair and loneliness. Interesting how a subject can promote a different feeling and/or point of view.

    1. A good photo that provokes a storyline in the mind is a success. It's more than cute pets, or flowers or landscape, much more.

  2. Fotoman, building on what you saw, a good tilte for this photo could be: "She ain't coming back"

  3. Or "looking for a solution in a glass"?
