who wears the pants now?, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

There's a saying that "the man wears the pants in the house" meaning that he is more dominating, has more authority. However, times are changing ;-) Here's to that! I took this from a moving car, so forgive me for the quality.
I dedicate this shot to all the women photographers here at TE (hope the men won't mind!).
Jokes apart, I do feel that Scottish men look very cute wearing "kilts", it is definitely not a skirt.

Hi Shaeri

This is indeed a humorous capture. and considering you captured it from a moving car on the spur of the moment, i must say you have a sharp eye and are pretty fast too.
Defintiely a sign of the changing times...hehe

Cheers
Vivek

Hi Shaeri.

That looks funny , yet it is the culture that is seen here..
Feel the funny and smile...but, there is also a lesson about what's happening to our daily needs..
Thoughtfull image.

Kudos,dear Shaeri.

Hi, Shaeri -

Quality aside (and it is not up to your usual standard), it is a good spur-of-the-moment capture. Nice comment on changing times!

(But if the man is not Scot - not that I know one way or the other - and he's wearing a T-shirt and hiking boots, it is still a kilt? Or is it now a skirt?)

neat capture. and good job by not getting their face/ identity. I liked the thematic contrast here. Nice spontaneity

Hi, Shaeri,
what a great shot!! I even think the quality is good considering you shot from your car. Very amusing contrast with the gender clothing reversal. Outstanding quick catch. (I agree about the kilts, too... YUM) :))
Warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Shaeri,

You have a great photo here. The contrast is just amazing between the man with skirt and the women with pants. What's an eye you have. Well done. My favorit, of course.

hi shaeri...
this is funny and thoughtful! our own dress codes - nothing natural about - settings some styles and when there is some change or abnormalty, it makes fun...
greetings...

Hi Shaeri
Being a man, yes indeed your title and your innuendo hurts me!!!
But, thinking twice, nowadays not such a paradoxal family status!
Cheers.

Hello Shaeri,

You've captured a fleeting moment, and I like your photograph very much. It is surprising the photo was shot in New York, and not Edinburgh, but then one cannot be surprised by anything in New York. Many years ago at Oxford University I took a picture of a couple � a very tall woman and a very short man � leaving a building where construction was taking place. Following the English code, there was a large sign announcing the construction, "Alterations! Department of Genetics." The quality of the image is nowhere as good as it should be for submitting to TE.

Warm regards,

Bulent

PJE (20758) 2008-01-05 8:21

Shaeri this is too funny to say the least. Excellent timing in this photo capture. I am sure the man in the kilt understands background and culture very well and is not swayed by normal trends to avoid such stereotypes of normal attire. Excellent work!

Hi Shaeri
