Sound of silence, The Amphitheater, Chautauqua, New York, 2015

I made this image from the Amphitheater’s choir loft several hours before the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra offered an “Evening with Mozart.” It is an incongruous scene of chairs en mass, waiting for someone to use them. I use my wideangle lens to layer the image with the choir loft in the foreground, a stage waiting for an orchestra in the middle ground, and a vast array of empty spectator seats in the background. The sound of a symphony is nowhere to be heard. In fact, my image speaks only of silence.
