Yosemite Sam/Horace Greeley (Weekend Street/Reflections # 95)

Newport Beach, California

While standing on the Newport Beach pier, he said, "Go West, young man" and laughed. I wondered if he wanted me to jump off the end of the pier or go to Catalina Island. Then I laughed because he called me a young man. I was probably 50 when I took this picture.😄
Have a good weekend!

"Street photography, a genre of photography that records everyday life in a public place. The very publicness of the setting enables the photographer to take candid pictures of strangers, often without their knowledge."

  2. There is no telling what he meant by quoting Horace Greeley, but this pose is perfect for your photograph. Have a great weekend, James, and Happy Thanksgiving.

  5. He looks old, probably has the right to call you a young man.

  8. I'm glad you posted this, James. I've been to Newport Beach but I missed this or didn't know what I was seeing.
    Thank you, James.
