Artist’s statement from the Magnum Photos website:

This series of photographs were taken as an opportunity to explore the veracity of the caption. We do not know if these random couples are bored or not. Who is to say what is authentic when captioned as thus? Parr also photographs himself with his partner appearing to be bored, but she is, in fact, very excited at the addition of this photo to the project.

Escher's work is so magical. I'm constantly amazed at the incredible concepts he uses in his work.

I always save pictures that I love in a folder I use for inspiration. Sometimes there's information and locations listed next to images due to good journalistic practices like accurate captioning, but other times I have to search the web for some relevant info, because I can only find out who's the photographer and nothing else. Ocasionally I luck out and find a piece written about the photo in question (like the one by Tony Ray-Jones)

Thanks for posting your image in this community!

I feel that this photograph could have been improved by a stronger subject, rather than a woman looking at her phone. Maybe even an additional layer of interest. Here are some shots that could inspire you in a similiar mix of interesting structures and people behind bars/fences (hopefully these inspire to make even better photos!):

Ernst Haas

Gueorgui Pinkhassov

Harry Gruyaert

Alex Webb

Viktor Kolar

KeePass for me. I manage my own database, don't rely on clouds and etc.

Street photography! Check out my post submission history.

Absolutely, that saying is from Weegee!

I love how some photographers make shots like these look easy, effortless, but anybody who's tried their hand at photography knows it isn't. The true mark of a master.

Thanks for those Netflix suggestions, didn't know about that at all.

Looks so surreal, right?

Yeah, I love how much potential small moments have when observed by a keen eye.

Definitely an incredible photographer. I stumbled into an exhibition of his in Istanbul and the large prints were amazing.

Hahahha, I had to go back and look at my comment to appreciate your response. 😂
