The blue print of social behavior. One dominant and the other humble.
This is why the transactional analysis was developed.

Good shooting, Only. That's real street.

Nice shot. On my screen it has a odd pink colour on the cheek of the woman on the left. What’s with that? If it’s deliberate it doesn’t work for me. Spoils the shot.

That's an interesting observation. I see none of it.

What I see are two eldely women bored out of their skulls, telling one another the same old same old. I was once informed that with age, conversation is replaced by a litany of health issue recitals; experience has told me the information is broadly correct. This is preferrable to having to endure listening to fibs about beautiful women the other person once had to fight off, or of the glories of drinking too many pints on New Year's Eve. This used to be a male thing, but that may have been embraced as empowering by the distaff members of society too now, for all I know.

This has both positive as negative aspects: on the one hand, it's a wonderful substitute for mind-numbing interchanges about football or cricket, and you can depart feeling grateful for your own, often relatively minor ailments; on the negative side, much conversation is misunderstood as the ears start to deliver information not imparted by the other person's mouth. It can ruin friendships that ran on blissfully for years.

Exactly, Rob. I don't think pop psychology enters into it at all.

But it's one of the very, very few actual street shots I see on "Street Showcase." I really think the moderators ought to rename the thing to "Whatever Showcase."

the guy playing chess and keeping an eye on them makes the image for me.

Maybe you miss some sensitivity to see what I see.
The reason why I see it: As a kid I witnessed weeks and weeks of this kind of interaction between my mother and other women of the neighborhood. There was no boredom in the same story's over and over, there was a complex mechanism of finding meaning of life behind that so called boredom. Gossip and a feeling to be better than someone else helped to survive the reality of poverty and misery...

You could consider taking a fresh look at the basis of the transactional analyses, before it was f*cked up by your LSD consuming contemporaries. :-)

Behind every human being,beyond the clothes of the age and fate, there are hidden desires and feelings,some
of them more or less guilty.
Thank everyone for profound comments.
