Tour bus, Barcelona, Spain, 2011

Barcelona’s “hop-on, hop-off” double-decked tour bus waits for customers near the port. The ticket agent and bus alike wear red colors, and its vivid hue drew my eye. I abstracted the bus by slicing it vertically at the front, pairing its incongruous hopping frog logo with the ticket agent who holds a pen to her lip. I also liked the way the curve of the window echoes the curve of the upper deck railing.

Not only does the frog leap on the ticket agent, and the agent leap on the customers -- your imagination takes a wonderful leap as well, Tim. And that is all I every ask from a photograph -- that it stimulate the imagination. You make us all see the photo in a new light.

There's a real connection I see here between the frog about to leap on the agent. And the agent about to leap on customers.
