Re: PAW PESO - Pizza Sign
I like it Shel. I love the smooth OoF background, which makes the sign pop out. I have to ask, so please don't yell at me if you find my question blasphemous / insulting g. Has the shot been reworked in PS using the lens blur filter?. If not I'm really impressed with the bokeh. Neat shot.

Re: PAW PESO - Pizza Sign
Thks for the kind words, Paul. Sometimes I'm a little slow, especially wrt what some people see in some of my photos. What more might it be other than a pic of a sign? When first seen, the shape jumped out at me, then the relationship between the pepperoni's on the pizza and the dots on the awnings. Then the light changed and I had to get outta the street.

Shel, Fun shot for me. The DOF behind the cutout is just about right to not only make it stand out, but still shows good context and almost seems to emphasize the cartoonish nature of the cutout.

No, it was a Pentax K body ... I'd not used the K28/3.5 for quite some time, ever since I got the K30/2.8. I, too, had forgotten how nice that lens is.

Re: Pizza Sign
The use of the title former mayor is correct, Frits. . . So long as he's not the current mayor, he is a former mayor - so that would apply to Koch as well as Mr. Giuliani.. Just like my former wife.

Re: Pizza Sign
Frits Wüthrich wrote: So 'a former' and 'the former' have the same meaning in this respect? Yes. In English, the only difference would be, the former could mean there were no others, but allows for more. By saying the former mayor you eliminate any other possibilities as to who you mean. It somehow adds a little importance to the position. And to anyone who held that position. Makes him a little bigger, more important. He certainly wasn't the dog-catcher! g A former give this person no discinction at all. He's just one of many holding office. A former mayor might be distinguished for other reasons, so they just mention that that was one of his titles, but admits of no particular importance. keith whaley On Mon, 2004-01-12 at 19:50, Steve Desjardins wrote: Anyone who has held the position is refered to as a former or past mayor.

Re: Pizza Sign
Also, of course, Ed Koch is rather well known and was mayor for quite a while. I have no real idea of how well known the mayor of NY is outside of the Northeast or the East Coast or the US. Mr. Giuliani is of course well known because of events on 9/11. BTW, I real do like the sign and the picture of it. I've always thought that movie is one of the great images of NY.
