Comparisons, Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, 2010

There are always expressive photo opportunities awaiting us in harbors around the world. I enjoy standing on the deck of a ship as it enters a teeming harbor, and finding objects that I can juxtapose to express incongruous ideas. Our cruise ship approached a freighter, already anchored in Salvador de Bahia’s harbor. It had a bright red hull, which floated on a deep blue sea. Two primary colors, compared side by side, create the context for the image. I saw a tiny blue fishing boat approaching, and I waited for it to ease just past the great red hull of the freighter. As it did so, I made this photograph, creating a second comparison, this time a striking scale incongruity.
