A straightforward, ordinary moment excellently done. It's stripped of pretension and striving, honors this instant of time and I think promises the next and the next. The man is of a piece, creased with age, labor and sun, from feet to head. It helps that the light picks out his character and throws shadows at angles. Even the traffic works in harmony. Reminds me of Robert Frank without the drapery of symbolism. I only wish I had the ability to take a picture like this.
Thank you. |
