Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Standing on the corner watching all the girls go by
Brother you don’t know a nicer occupation
Matter of fact, neither do I
Than standing on the corner watching all the girls
Watching all the girls, watching all the girls go by
… “Standing on the Corner” written by Frank Loesser and published in 1956. It was introduced by Shorty Long, Alan Gilbert, John Henson, and Roy Lazarus in the Broadway musical, The Most Happy Fella. A recording of the song by The Four Lads was popular in 1956: http://youtu.be/rlbGQ0xKZbY
Although the version I remember was by Dean Martin: http://youtu.be/xc5DUZintK4

I love the way you framed/cropped this shot – fantastic!
Thanks. I took this standing about a metre behind, waiting to cross the road. I just straightened it a touch.
I love the way you composed this shot and how everything comes together, certainly illustrates the song and I am left wanting to know more. Beautiful work
Thank you very much for your comments. I really appreciate it. I’ve deliberately been photographing with one prime lens only for a while, which makes it easier to compose intuitively now.
Inspiring!
Thank you.
wonderful!
Thank you.
Superb POV ! As stated great crop/framing 😀 So beautifully sharp!
Thanks. Camera fully setup before I got in position at about 1 metre (manual focus 50mm lens). Best of 4 shots before the light turned green and we all started walking. Another one from the hip. 🙂
Reblogged this on Instacandid.

Your welcome!
I love all the details here – great shot!
Thank you.
Great composition – simple, yet elegant – a tough combination for sure.
Thank you.
So beautifully composed!
Thanks. 🙂
Love this one. You can even see the stray hairs on her sweater.
Thanks. It was actually hard to take as I was surrounded by people on all sides, but I guessed the distance correctly. 🙂
What would you like to do when you grow up son? Mmm…stand on the corner and watch all the girls go by. It’s a great occupation Dad…don’t you like it? Great shot!
It’s every guy’s dream job. 🙂
