Making Shapes
My photographic mind can work in strange ways.
I was in London on a photo walk. The weather was great and the light was doing its thing.
While I’m walking, I always keep my eyes open to possibilities. And I saw the scene in my photo and my camera came up.
I wasn’t sure why. It made me stop and think. I stood there in a quandary. What was it that triggered me?
I looked again and saw people waiting for the bus. Big deal. But there was another person strolling up the road…
And then it hit me. I had a triangle of people.
So I waited until the person walking hit the apex of the scene. Then I fired the shot.
Next, I wondered for the rest of the walk if the photo would be any good.
And when I viewed it in Lightroom a little later, I was pleased. There is a strong sense of geometry to it. That’s what makes the photo.
This photo makes shapes…
