18-SEP-2004 Anna Yu

Sergels Torg, Stockholm

September is a month for rain and...more rain.

Pete, I didn't stand there very long, since it was pouring with rain and the camera was getting wetter and wetter. 3-4 minutes max. Next time I'll get someone to model for me, should have thought of that.

This is one of those "special" shots. Very effective use of spot color.

This is an entirely different kind of approach in terms of stopping time, Anna. Instead of just freezing human reactions in time and space, you create meaning by comparing the geometry of a person walking with an umbrella to the vastly larger geometry of the plaza she is crossing. You have frozen her stride so that her legs form two sides of a triangle, just as she walks into a triangle herself. You have frozen her umbrella in the exact spot where that triangle meets five other triangles, both white and black. Yet this woman only wants to get home and get dry. She sees nothing of what you have made us see. You have brilliantly composed this picture in the frame, and then released your shutter at the moment when the subject becomes an integral part of the design of the plaza itself. Are you saying here that we are all part of a grand design, whether we realize it or not? I so, that expresses a point well worth thinking about.

I'll go to Stockholm next week and stay there for eight days. I could model for you, just tell me where to meet you :) Great photo, it's always so crowded on this square when I'm there. Nice to see it empty.

Nie shot. I like the contrasts in it - the blue agianst hte nearly black and wite and the play of three tones.

Anna, this is a beauty!

Bring an umbrella next time; this is really fabulous!! How fortunate that someone wearing black and white happened by to make this just perfect!!
gary becker19-Sep-2004 03:03
Stunning.
Ray :)18-Sep-2004 23:18
Given the grand tile design, how could you not take a photo here eventually? The blue umbrella is perfect and I'm glad you captured the person with no other soul visible.
Guest 18-Sep-2004 22:56
Stunning blue! A shot to remember.

Fantastic composition!! Wonderful!!
virginiacoastline18-Sep-2004 15:54
I wonder how long you had to stand there and wait for just the right color and only ONE person to walk across to get this cool shot . . . you must have fantastic patience =]
yosi aptekar18-Sep-2004 15:45

Guest 18-Sep-2004 15:44
