Conflict Avoidance?


To me, this photograph doesn't provide many visual clues about when it was made, and I'd like to say that is exactly what I was aiming for. I had to wait for the person conversing on their cell phone to finish their call and leave before taking this shot. I suppose I could claim that I was eliminating detail in order to give the viewer room to invent their own narrative, but maybe I just didn't have the gumption to photograph a stranger. That said, I'm not keen to have my photograph taken on the street, so why should I get up in someone else's face? It is a bit of a conundrum for me, I admit.

I hope you have good light this weekend.
