I thought some credit is due here, especially considering the use of someone else’s artwork as the focal point of my photograph. The sculpture apparently has no official name, but is referred to by museum officials as "big man" and is presently on display at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The work was done by the Australian artist Ron Mueck. He is represented by the James Cohan gallery in New York.

This was not a preplanned shot. I was struck by the impact of the sculpture and wanted to photograph it. I actually waited some time for onlookers to clear the view. But, then it dawned on me that the onlookers made the photograph. I especially like this photo because of the stark contrasts on several levels. The heavily clothed man in the shadows, staring at the nude, brightly lit sculpture that is shiftily looking away.
