Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Colour re-edit of a previously published black and white shot captured in July 2014. Enjoy!
Influenced by Andreas Gursky's works showing humanity's addiction to mass consumption.
Celebrating consumerism in creamy analog color.
What works towards the success of this photo is that all the individuals in the middle ground are coincidentally wearing slate colored shirts... and that delicious orange color way way in the back

I try to not post roster shots but this new slug set is a little too colorful not to post. Consumers Energy's newest locomotive set is seen sitting at CSX's Wyoming yard in Grand Rapids MI awaiting further movement to West Olive. This set will replace a SW cow and calf set that is already there.

Listen, enjoy and think: Marvin Gaye - Mercy, Mercy, Me.
a city is a collection of loud invitations.
buy this. want this. sale.
the words are written in gold, under bright lights.
but people move through these spaces quietly.
they are not headlines, but silhouettes.
anonymous figures navigating a world of objects,
each carrying their own unheard interior monologue.
the transaction is silent.
and it has nothing to do with what is for sale.
“What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don't actually improve their lives.” By
Jeff Bezos 😅
I always wanted to visit that place. I remember several years in the past, this commercial center was full of life, today this is empty and beautiful. Some people lived here, left and let their marks. Strangely the words I red were full of love, as if the knew that nobody would read them, a silent and peaceful love.
I had this whole magnificent shopping mall pretty much to myself. Okay, I briefly saw two other people. I struck up a conversation with one of them, who was a shop owner-operator. I guess everyone else was online.
Supermarket car park. The lamps again.
People were shopping like crazy tonight, what with all the bank holidays coming up. I don't think many of them noticed this at all.
More logical packaging for condoms
(On our first day's wandering we passed a grocer's. Everyone knows strange consumer products are one of the best things about travel.)
I'd like to speak to the complaint department.
what seems to be the problem?
I am not satisfied with the service I'm getting here.
what's wrong with it?
what's wrong is that there is no service. none.
none you say? what service are you looking for?
I need a rail ticket to L.A. I want the express.
do you now? unfortunately, that train doesn't stop here anymore.
what?
nor any other train, for that matter.
since when?
since, oh, about 30 years ago.
I had no idea.
yeah. it's hard to tell by looking around, isn't it?
damn. you coulda fooled me.
no kidding.
