It should be a good representation...every photo (except the first one) was taken over the course of about 3 hours on Thursday and Friday last week.

Loving the diversity in architecture and people

WOW! Great photos!

Hamilton looks very busy and diverse.

Reminds me of Center City Philadelphia on an average work day. Downtown Hamilton is as busy as any downtown in North America! Doesn't look like a "broken down old city" to me.

Hamiltons downtown isn't broken down in my opinion either, actually I think theres alot going on now more then in the past...

I guess we've found where hell is

Last time I was in Hamilton, I remember waiting to turn right onto King St West at that same intersection in the photo, by CIBC. The no right turn on red rule really backed things up.

I always enjoy your photo tours. Thanks.

Great thread! Perfect mix of street scenes, people shots and interesting details.

Broken down is the new black.

Another fabulous set, cap'n!

You're gettin' pretty darn good with that picture takin' machine.

Great tour, and I love the people shots. Coffee guy makes me feel better about my eye bags (hey they ain't as nasty as his). And he is not the guy I want to be standing behind at the coffee shop.

Hamilton has just the right amount od grit. And there seems to be as many happy folks as unhappy in the pics.

I wondered what happened to Phil Spector:

Great thread flar, thanks.

Coffee guy scares me

Love it! Great set.

Great stuff, love the people shots

Just look at some of Hamilton's neighbours in the US Rust Belt and don't get too down on your city. Two words spring to mind here: Authentic, Diverse.

Do people ever ask you why you're taking a pic of them, and if so what do you say

flar · #38 Posted **Mar 8, 2009, 5:49 AM**

Thanks!

Sometimes people don't even know they're being photographed, other times they do and generally don't seem to mind. People often think I'm with a newspaper or something.

Your best expose of Hamilton yet, flar. Fantastic work!

Troyeth · #40 Posted **Mar 8, 2009, 2:20 PM**

Terrific shots! A somber yet lovely mood has been captured.
