Leftofcenter said at 7:45 p.m. on May 2, 2008: candid behind the scenes. are these the cooks? did they make gumbo? kuel dudes.
Hollyridger said at 7:56 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Good eye, Pam! This is an excellent photo.
Pkeener said at 8:07 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Thanks! I caught them just as I was walking up to take some photos of the Festival parade in the street. they were on the back dock of the restaurant surrounded by all this excitement and color below them, and i was so amazed at the irony. they were kitchen staff, for sure, but not sure if they were cooks. i quickly fired off the shots, as people were walking into the scene. and honestly, i was more excited about this than all the other colorful ones i took. Don's Seafood is well established hangout in downtown Lafayette.
Eduardo.affonso said at 8:47 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Interesting play with contrasts, light, colors. Haven't you made any portraits of them?

Sirnicolay said at 9:07 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Cool picture, Pam :)
Jigs said at 9:31 p.m. on May 2, 2008: You know what this shot reminds me of, Pam - those simple but beautifully moving human-interest photos I so loved looking at in the old Life magazines! They capture what seems to be ordinary moments and the photography - the lighting, the expressions, the perspective - elevate these moments into something special.
AliDar said at 9:32 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Great shot! The fellow on the right lets us know that there's something interesting happening. ... Must be the beginning of thier shift too, their aprons are nice and clean, and still have the nice and tidy folds.
Pkeener said at 9:44 p.m. on May 2, 2008: Great observation, Dar! it was around 5:00 and that would be right before the dinner rush. Down time, and there won't be any more of that til the night's over. Edu, i was lucky to take this one on the run!! can't imagine a portrait sitting. thank you james.
Jigs, your comments are so elegant, thank you, my friend.
Leftofcenter said at 9:53 p.m. on May 2, 2008: only DAR would notice the clean aprons!!!

Lifequest22 said at 8:42 a.m. on May 3, 2008: "Damn, we have to work and miss all the fun," is what they seem to be saying. "And we'll be working extra hard tonight." A moment in time most don't even notice but you captured it perfectly.

Amiga, that is probably exactly wht they were thinking. I have been there, as well... You got dat right, Charlie!! and thank you Charles, coming from you, that is a huge compliment.
