[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This may not be to everyones taste, I'm just having an experimental moment. Everyday I do the commuter run in the morings. I am surrounded by faceless people who don't communicate with each other. Often their faces are blank and expressionless. I thought I would take my camera with me one morning and to record these faceless people.

Karan,
I think its an interesting idea. I like the limited number of people in each frame. Good choce to use a B/W mode to only focus on shape and not colors. Conveys the mood very well.

Hi Karan,
Great idea to express your thoughts in a collage this way. It is true, you might see some of them each day, but never know their names or what they do. You know how they look, but don;t know how they are. I like all three shot, but especially the top one, with the created movement on both side. I also like the feel of the B/W touch to it.
TFS,
Niek

Idea nicely communicated. Also like sharpness of the top picture combined with the motion blurr.

Hi bKaran, i like this image with different angles, congratulations for this so great job, is really fascinant... and great the b/w-... TFS

I used to take the New York City subway and it's true people just stare into space.
This is a very interesting view of urban society.

Hi Haran,
What a wonderful way of preserving memories. Sort of like the thought for the day in a diary entry. Each photo conveys your message, and captured with good tech details. Regards. Danilo

Hello Karan,
Great idea and presentation. The shots are very nice and the choice of B&W was a good one. Well done. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Valeria.

interesting idea and concept karan :)
the presentation is very good
excellent series of street photos here

There's something quite disturbing about this picture - reminds me of a "Twilight Zone" episode which frightened me as a child! Great idea and really creatively displayed - use of b&w suits the mood perfectly.
Thanks for sharing
