Nmat said at 5:19 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Love this, Pam. First shot is a real eyecatcher -- glad to see NM and CO at least have some pins in them ;-) And #3 is just great.
Pkeener said at 5:39 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Deb thanks i am glad you are enjoying this series....Hey Nancy! So great to see your comments. I was so pleased to see the pins in NM and Co.

Life is made of moments, flaps, each with its charm by their difference.
Excellent tabblo made of moments in people's lives. Cheers Pam!
Leftofcenter said at 6:12 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
I'm scrolling down and back up and back down again, this is one of those seemingly eclectic tab where each pic tells a story, even the pic of your reflection in the shop's window- but really there is a link- it's everyday life moments of zen, candid, furtive...
Leftofcenter said at 6:13 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
love the mother & son reunion.
Pkeener said at 6:23 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Thank you for astute comments (as always, you get it) leftie. These shots were crying out for a tabblo, but it wouldnt come to me. Such a mixed bag. I think we all just need to be zen, as you say, and let the serendipity work its magic. maybe these shots werent all that great, but i liked them because they all had a back story for me, which made my trip so special.
21-gramm said at 6:55 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
all moments are cool, Pam! LOL penny for 'em?
Wildthing said at 7:12 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Electric set of terrific images. Love it, and the one-liners. You get the juice flowing with your street shots.
Leftofcenter said at 7:25 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
the pomsie/lefie connection :)
Pkeener said at 8:21 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Den, i got the feeling a penny might not be enough for his thoughts. Hey Mike, that is a great compliment coming from you, dude!
MHCityPlanner said at 8:26 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Love the reflective reflections ...
Wflorence said at 8:30 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Love these photos Pam. However, I might have to join Gretel in upgrading my vocabulary. LOL
AliDar said at 8:32 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Hey! Glad you couldn't resist; I love those sort of shots where the stuff inside the window and the reflection get all mixed up. ... And the guitar player wearing the frets on his pants is excellent. And so is 'far away' Perfect portrait of someone in their thoughts. :)
Pkeener said at 9:04 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
LOL. Bill. Dar, I am glad you noticed the pattern in his pants picking up the frets. Like minds are scary! Wayne, it's nice to see you. I am a sucker for reflections..
Hhwind said at 9:53 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Nice shots, quite a lively street
Noe said at 10:16 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
Can't pronounce that title but those are a great shots Pam =)
Cowgirl said at 11:23 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
cool shots love the reflection shot of you ..
Abking said at 11:57 p.m. on May 12, 2008:
This is a really solid set, with a clear focus of interest in each photo. I like scrolling back and forth, finding repeated patterns and motifs. The 4 heads in #10-#13, musical instruments, reunion and raised arms of palm tree under muted sun: it all adds up to a satisfying whole, like a short story.
JuDeck said at 12:25 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Keeners, check to see if there's a pin on your head, there should be....strings and fretts matching the pants and the bricks....reflection of you shows the buttons....reunion is the one of thousands that occurs every day...the little guy looking for action...and of course my fav, sitting on the statement....you got the art girl....V
Pkeener said at 1:11 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Noe, if you say it out loud, you risk sounding like Sylvester the Cat!! Allan, its so amazing to take these random shots and have them rolling around in my head for days, or weeks, not quite knowing what to do with them until i start the editing process. and then to have them make some sort of sense when I am composing a tabblo, is the best feeling. Or the worst. ;) But what is absolutely the coolest thing is to read comments like yours. Jude, are you calling me a pinhead?? Thank you for noticing the nuances, and the last shot? i now dedicate to you. you are so right..looking to the sky is better!
Andre. said at 3:28 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Amazing how you just bite these slices of life OFF life. Super.
Nina1960 said at 4:25 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Great set Pam,...I love to see you in the window and the man who is thinking....
Ira said at 4:26 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Fine. Only reality. Only life.
Appropos said at 4:45 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
great tabblo a bit different in flavour from the rest of the series...
OscarDaniel said at 6:58 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Great tabblo Pam! good job!
ElZorroTOX said at 7:58 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
...and most times you show you are truly a gifted photographer.
Sirnicolay said at 8:01 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Amazing pictures, Pam! I love the portraits! :)
Albert_09 said at 9:22 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
Pam, excellent tabblo
Leftofcenter said at 9:27 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
ok- I'll admit it: I googled "surreptitious" I'm from Canada after all!!! LOOL
Jigs said at 9:55 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
your amazing photographs really bring Louisiana to vivid life in my mind! every image tells a wonderful story!
Wahoogin said at 10:53 a.m. on May 13, 2008:
It really is like a short story. Great job!
Lifequest22 said at 12:02 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Looking at your tabblos is always a bright spot in my day. The photos individually or as a set are just plain joy, "be that as it may." And a guitar, frets and all, all the way from Canada.
Fredzee said at 12:26 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Your tabblos are always like windows on the true life! thanks Pomsie!
Pkeener said at 12:37 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Meegs, those guitars were everywhere. The African and Canadian Musicians were all over them. Thank you for finding some joy in my photos. Freddie! The Wise Cat is always on my mind when I am taking photos. I am so amazed at all your cooments, and glad I could bring you a slice of life from Acadiana.
AliDar said at 12:56 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Finally figured out what Jude meant by "sitting on the statement"! <G> ... I'll be more observant next time... ... got distracted by his rubber between the toes shoe carries. <G>
AliDar said at 12:57 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
oops, that should be 'carriers'
Mirella said at 2:57 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
A set of wonderful pics. I like a lot the beautiful portraits and the reflections. Ciao
Chiloedream said at 4:20 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Génial, un de tes meilleurs tabblos. Des images ouvertes sur la rue, sur l'art, et sur la vie.
""" Si le chanteur se tait, la vie se tait,
Car la vie, la vie elle-même n'est qu'un chant,

D'espérance, de lumière ni de joie. """

Thank you Pam
Steetje said at 5:13 p.m. on May 13, 2008:
Like my aunt, I have been scrolling up and down to discover the stories behind the pictures. I love this tabblo! Thank you for the inspiration!
Jantass said at 8:49 p.m. on May 13, 2008:

You are always lucky, PAM, come rain or come glass...
Pkeener said at 12:37 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Awww Gee, Thanks, guys. I am so glad I can post my rejected little tabblos in the VOIOD group. ( It almost spells VOID, ya know?) EDu, I am lucky because of your support and always always always appreciate your insight. Seriously, thank you for checking in, and love your comments.
YorkJodi said at 6:06 p.m. on May 14, 2008:

TavarES said at 7:14 p.m. on May 14, 2008:
Another work that is perfect! What it impresses me more, is the detail to find the details of the life in its real aspect. GOOD !
Suhud said at 1:30 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
too lucky. :)
PhotoPop said at 8:31 a.m. on May 15, 2008:
Love the diversity, the private moments and the public ones. Excellent.
Hyhoa said at 4:59 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Pam,I really love the poetry of your portraits and the atmosphere of these streets .The guitarists , the van and all the people remind me this lovely song from a young french singer , Raphael, and his song " Caravane" ( the hit of the 2006 's in France )
On the road again through the US or elsewhere ? For you ,because I know you're a music lover !

Est-ce que j'en ai les larmes aux yeux
Que nos mains ne tiennent plus ensemble
Moi aussi je tremble un peu
Est-ce que je ne vais plus attendre

Est-ce qu'on va reprendre la route
Est-ce que nous sommes proches de la nuit
Est-ce que ce monde a le vertige ...
Keeli said at 8:58 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Great street photography Pam . . . I think I like the window shot best though! Hey, I am going to Nashville for the Songwriters' Festival in June . . . wish you could show up with your camera!!!!!
Pkeener said at 9:23 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
Hyhoa! This is such a perfect surprise. Thank you for your comments and the beautiful song. So great to see you again. Keeli, are you serious?? I am in awe of your photography, and I sure would enjoy that festival!! Thank you John, it was so easy to photograph, Suhud, yes, ;)
Afonso! How are your vacations? Thank you, my friend.
Siagian said at 10:52 p.m. on May 15, 2008:
another cool collection Pam. you have an amazing eye for people shots...
TavarES said at 5:05 p.m. on May 16, 2008:
Reasonable, Pam! That happened in the last week of April, but I can say that today, tonight, I go for another week on the coast of Spain. I come back!
Memotions said at 7:32 a.m. on May 18, 2008:
Wow.....you certainly capture the emotion and atmosphere with your candid shots...and always with a sense of whimsy. When I looked at that map, I was kind of surprised not to see more collectors on the west coast! that was an eye-opener. Great work again Pam!
Lucemiami said at 12:13 p.m. on May 19, 2008:
Nice shots, I like the close up with the guitare and the two portraits through the window..Beautiful tabblo and concept..
