Transparency


I knew that the surfaces of the fabric and the polished concrete were inherently interesting, at least to me, but I was pleasantly surprised at how the camera was also able to capture the volume of space behind the partition in this photograph. The way the optical system rendered the space was tricky to pre-visualize. From my position behind a large column, I was able to take photographs with a digital camera as well as a film camera. In this case, I ended up preferring the digital image. The digital camera was somehow more transparent, and that characteristic was what helped capture the experience for me.

Tasting notes: Sony digital camera.
