it could have been just the same the mid-1960's, but it was last autumn in Lucca, Italy. they were a quiet frame on the usual uproar on the two meters puzzled streets. of course, if we would have been indeed in those years, they wouldn't smoke filtered cigarettes, their shoes would have been plain sneakers, not c*nverse, and the houses behind them would have been younger and cheaper.. but still, don't be fooled by the apperences, think at the progress and knowledge nowadays and there you'll feel the difference..

strange how Ronald Reagan's words sound like my grandfather's..

Very nice street shot!
Great street photography. Lots of mood portrayed.
Cheers
I read your comment. I think I have understood the essence of the message. In any case it fits perfectly with this picture of young women who seemed to be immersed in their thoughts ...
Your grandfather was right: we have probably more chance of success than our ancestor. The question is whether are able to use them wisely ...
I like your shot, really.
Such pertinent observation Romina. And the image has indeed the perfume of those years. Bravo!
Very cool use of those tones.
Nice photography. The tone matches the scene perfectly. And you know hot it is with fashion. Everything comes back some day!
Utterly beautifull street scene ... excellent work!
A very different generation. They look like they're from the 60's and the sepia tones really pull that out.
...very lovely shoot Romina,brava.... A presto!
Indeed ! Very Sixties-like ! Love your yellowed sepia tone a lot, and their position, and their dreams behind the sun-glasses. Could be a shot in a Mode magazine ! See U*, dear ~
Thank you all for dropping by :)
@K: their position captured my eye too. they have no stress :).
as for mode magazine.. well, you make me laugh. you are kind, but I'm much below their standards I guess, and to be totally sincere I don't even dream that my photos were in such magazine :)
see you around. kisses
Very cool shot of a couple of cool chicks:-)
Yes it could well have been mid sixties, especially the girl on the right. I can just see them hopping onto a Lambretta and cruising down the road. Funny, I think that those times offered far more opportunity than today. It's a cool shot anyhoo :)
cool chicks :)
great street shot and processing
A fine street shot with toning that supports the image very well. The way "youth" changes over time is an interesting subject. I was talking with a 7th grader this morning and found his ideas of socializing via twitter, facebook and text messaging fascinating.
Cool street shot. I like the processing of that capture.
Love the monotone style. Beautiful work.
I love the vintage feel of this and how the attitude of the two women comes through. Very nice.
Chiar ca arata ca din anii '60.In special ochelarii tipei din dreapta.
@Chris: da, exact, mai ales ochelarii tipei din dreapta. got the same ones. their are just like in breakfast at tiffany's :)
FABULOUS mood the glasses the body posture... excellent... I love it.
The post processing makes it seem like a old shot from a time ago. Cool stuff
a natural shot with an appropiate editing, I like it
es un excelente retrato de dos amigas.
saludos
Love the tones, great street shot!

...and a great quote too.
