I was waiting to cross the street, but the traffic was too heavy to take my chance. Cuenca’s streets were designed for horses and carriages. They are still paved in cobblestones, and are very narrow. There are stoplights, but often cars are backed up for blocks and pedestrians can cross only at their own risk. Turning cars are even more hazardous – you have to look in three directions at once while crossing a street. (One member of our tour group did not see a turning taxi while trying to weave her way around a stopped bus during a downpour. The taxi’s driver did not see her, either, until it snapped her leg, and abruptly ended her trip.) I tried in this image to express how the drivers must feel as they navigate the dicey streets. I shoot two vehicles virtually abreast. The red car is moving quickly, while the driver of the white truck, featuring a large advertisement about sausage making, slaps his own head in frustration. The two drivers look forward, while the sausage maker in the ad looks backwards. The flow of energy moves in two directions at once, catching the viewer in the middle.
