I'm loving the Native American shooting Native American! That one has very vibrant colors! The salmon bridge fishing one is quite awesome as well, amazing how they all think they'll catch something and keep their lines separate. Did they ever ensnare each other's lines?

I'll join in too! I was holding my camera up while waiting in line at the local Starbucks. This lady kept hearing my camera clicking but she refused to turn to look at me. Here, she finally turned halfway and looked at me out of the corner of her eye but I was a split second too late when she blinked and turned away.

Yeah, they tangle up once in a while, but not as often as I would have thought, and it's probably worth it with the cost of fresh salmon what it is!

They've got techniques and protocols they follow to help with that, though I couldn't tell you what they are exactly. Mainly, it seems they mostly fish very shallow, just underneath where they're standing, and are careful to stay in their own 'lane'. They're dropped into a shallow (couple to a few feet deep, it looks like) but fast moving stream that the salmon swim up during that time of year to spawn. So, they don't let out much line, for the most part. Most of the time, they have their rods pointed down and when fish gets on they just pull up, rather than start reeling. Basically, it seems from the technique that they could be using cane poles.

Just in front of them, they're facing a spillway/waterfall, and I stood there for close to an hour hoping to see a few salmon jumping up it to continue upstream, like in the classic salmon swimming upstream nature films. Apparently, they do, but I wasn't patient enough to hang out long enough to see it.

I'd posted this elsewhere, in a theme thread that's not getting much action, so decided that it fit here. I asked this couple walking their dog if they'd stop and talk to each other at the end of the walk there. She said, "I haven't showered!" I told her she'd only be a silhouette, so she laughed and agreed.

And John, what a fine addition!

As I was walking westlake village, I thought it was very cool to see a shoe shine person making an honest living. I had not seen one since I was a kid...What a great profession this once was. When life was much more simple, when people would get years worth of use from their shoes, when people use to get them resoled....

Fruit vendors is another one...I for one appreciate them...BUT a word to the wise...I never buy from Male street vendors as they are usually very dirty...Women on the other hand are usually clean and almost always wear gloves....But from women.

Out in public...No shame..I was like 4 feet away and took three snaps and they never even noticed me....:thinking:

Talk about a mobile food station...

Great slices of life you've caught Javier. I really enjoy seeing them.

Thanks John. I appreciate the kind words. I will be going out again tomorrow as I do every Saturday. I just don't know where to go. Two weeks in a row I almost got robbed so I need to go someplace safe.

Please, don't get sliced while you're capturing these slices!
