Family outing, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

To make this image, I first selected the setting itself – a rhythmically repeating row of sculpted trees growing before the ornate architectural features of a historic facade facing the city plaza. I caught this mobile family just as its motorbike passed below the overhead balcony and between the trees. As I shot, the child threw her head back towards her father’s chest. The fender and wheels of the vehicle, along with the cap and helmet of the parents, echo the curved shapes of the overhead trees. My interpretation comments on the relationship between the three “family” groupings here: botanical, architectural, and human.

Thanks, Steve, for noting the way I plan some of my images. I often have an idea of what I would "like" to happen, and I try to find a setting that I hope will help "make it happen," but the rest is up to patience and pure chance. It happened here, and it certainly happened with my "Primary Colors" image athttp://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/156524900
