Shanghai Street - Fiber Optic Repairs

[michswiss]

This is a set that I did a couple of weeks ago, one of which I put forward as a candidate for the recent challenge for "Environmental Portraits". I promised I would repost them once I was back from my recent trip.

1) The set up. I notice the repairs taking place and consider the hazards of taking street shots in the street.

2) I make the approach into their space

It's certainly possible that these images travelled over the optical fiber the two young men repaired as the location is just outside my building.

ETA. Do I get close to strangers on the street? Yes. I swallow deeply many times, but yes.
