The Coffee Guy
Posted by Lorraine (Gatineau, Canada) on 1 September 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
Great captured, but I had to laugh, you know the first thing that struck me about this image... "Why is that car on the wrong side of the road" ;o)
1 Sep 2008 5:17am
@Kylie Greenan: I'm sure I'd react the same way on yours sweetie ;) what do you like in your coffee?
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Ok, that's it then. The world is upside down. The last two pictures I looked at where celebrating Spring and now our cars are on the wrong side of the road. LOL. What a great community Am3 is. Here we are heading into fall on this side of the equator and also driving on the wrong side of the street. Oh right, the guy with the coffee. Bet he is making a few people happy and of course it's Timmy's. Another great street scene Lorraine.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Very good this b&w. The guy was perfectly caught, plain sense of movement. But, coffee? In those buckets? I'm going out right now for my espresso.
1 Sep 2008 8:56am
@António Pires: Antonio, those buckets are pretty darned good you know...oooo espresso, you like to move lol have a good one :)
@Veronelle: sucre et creme ou just creme, ou completement noir? ;)
Siam from Chaingrai, Thailand
J'aime pas...J'adore , tu as réaliser un beau noir et blanc, vers le rouge en monochrome. Un homme qui veux que le café soit chaud. Un shot haut la main, j'aime cela la vie dans les rue, des spectacles gratuit en permanence, suffi d'avoir l'œil, plus boitier...PS : Merci pour Teo Lorraine...
1 Sep 2008 9:43am

@rem_la: Creme ou lait? ou 2% ou ecreme? :) ou noir?
Betty from New Jersey, United States
My first thought was... you were stalking him for the coffee!!! :-) He looks like he really needs that coffee! Great shot, Lorraine!
1 Sep 2008 11:11am
@Betty: Betty, I can't be stalking if I'm in front, can I? you bet I can lol actually I took it, he looked up, I smiled, he smiled, I said 'Do you mind?', he said 'Not at all', I said 'Enjoy your coffee!' snap, snap, shoot, shoot ;)
@kerfendal: Wow Kerfendal, quel compliment, j'ai bien sur faite une recherche sur l'internet , et Wow quelles photographes, je ne crois pas merite cette eloge, mais j'l'a prend quand meme lol
desolee je ne trouve pas mes accents sur mon lap top!
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
A classic shot. My favorite part is the echo of the guy walking in the advertisement way in the back in the suit. Aren't they a pair?
1 Sep 2008 11:17am
@GJC: Kinda neat hey GJC, actually the guy on the poster is one of the most successful Real Estate Agent in the area...I don't know what the coffee guy does ;)
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
I will skip it thanks... no coffee for me...
1 Sep 2008 12:40pm
@Fliss: I don't know whether to congratulate you, pity you, or send you to the nuthouse...;) so what's your poison, beer? Tea? Caffeinated drinks, mineral water? what can I offer you? I know! Hot chocolate, how's that?
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Did you stand in a doorway and stalk him, Lorraine? (Ha, ha)
I see your temperatures are dropping up there so the hot coffee probably hits the spot!
1 Sep 2008 12:53pm
@Judy: NO, Judy, bad girl, lol I wasn't standing in any doorway, humpH! a bit of stalking, I was killing time while my Toyota was being fixed ;) I had already taken photos of the owner, the mechanics, the guy who put the gas in, people on the street, and Coffee Guy, how could I resist coffee guy?
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Cool shot Lorraine... love that mist in the background. This are looks very much like the residential part of Chester :) Is the coffee guy coming to you....? maybe you ordered after all that cleaning :->
1 Sep 2008 12:54pm
@Observing: No such luck, he ignored me, well unti i took a shot, I was hoping if he were distracted enough, he wouldn't notice the missing coffee ;)
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
I like those guys! The nice thing about this picture is that there are three totally different(ly) walking guys on it :). Well seen and alertly shot!
1 Sep 2008 1:11pm
@Illuci: How nice, thanks a lot Erik, honestly though the second I saw the coffee, I shot everything in sight, does that to me even by osmosis!
Capture from Hoover, United States
Everyday life documentary photos are my favorite. When I saw the picture on the side of the building and the man walking in front of it I had the thought "life imitating art". Interesting capture.
1 Sep 2008 1:49pm
@Capture: Hey neat comment, thanks for the visit and comment Capture :)
MJ from Delaware, United States
I just started my coffee.... thank you but I would love anlther cup.... Great scene....
I love the sign... the man .... then the coffee man....great shot
1 Sep 2008 2:17pm
@MJ: Absolutely all my visitors get a Tim Horton coffee, cream, sugar? black? ;) thanks a lot!
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
This is becoming a very common scene in our cities with people walking and carrying the carton trays. He might be wondering why he always gets stuck with buying coffee. You're getting to the point where Tim Hortons should be giving you free coffee, hey who else promotes the place world wide. I like regular coffee, but for a real treat I'll get a cappuccino.
1 Sep 2008 2:34pm
@JoeB: Well there you go, that's my kinda of thinkin' in fact I even have a blog on Tim Horton's People, I kid you not: check it out: http://timhortonspeople.blogspot.com/ txs abunch Joe ;)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore

1 Sep 2008 2:59pm

1 Sep 2008 3:52pm
@ce que je saisis: Hey Merci beaucoup Pascal ;)
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
There's a bunch going on here. The concentration on the task at hand. The traffic. I love the three fellows lined up here - ending in the out-of-place advertisement in the three-piece suit. Nicely seen.
1 Sep 2008 5:05pm
@Stephen Phillips: And yet all I see is COFFEE ;) addicted much? oh yes I am, thanks for the lovely comment Stephen :)
Stan Pulsar from Strasbourg, France

1 Sep 2008 11:02pm
@MaryB: You got it, I put the cream/milk containers aside as well as sugar/brown sugar/fake sugar, 'cause you still haven't told me what you like in it ;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
Now it's already late...would think, that the cups of coffee are empty...really a great shot, Lorraine! :)
1 Sep 2008 11:05pm
@Nina: Oh Dear, no, no it's never too late for coffee ;) thanks a lot!
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
I am beginning to think that you have some kind of Tim fixation.
2 Sep 2008 3:52am
@Michael Rawluk: You Think? Did you check my Tim Horton People Blog ;)
@saeed: You got it, you're on the Coffee Guy's address list ;)
