Description
Three men sit on a park bench playing chess. They are so deep in concentration that they don't notice that I am standing a couple of feet away. I know that I have to take the photo before one of them sees me.

Wow! Thanks so much, Lin, for your effusive reaction to this. I remember taking it and having to remain so quiet so they wouldn't notice me and move.

Madeline, congratulations on having this image featured on the home page of Street Photography. It's definitely one of my all-time favorites. I actually think about this photo quite often--it made that much of an impression on me from the first time I saw it.

This is such a wonderful candid shot, which I appreciate so much. (Staged photos can be so boring and without emotion or fake emotions.) This is just really nice work, showing the complete being in the mind and absolute focus. And the monochrome allows us to concentrate on the men, not the surroundings. Excellent!
