The walls of five entryways on the right lead to a long walkway, creating an arcade that flanks one of Phoenix’s largest office buildings. I waited until a person passed through the far entryway, turned, and began her long walk towards me. I made this image just as she took that first step after her turn. I pre-composed the image based on the dramatic interplay of light and shadow and the repeating rhythms created by the walls of the multiple entryways. It is as if those walls are walking towards us along with the woman. Our imaginations resonate to the repetitive beat of color and line, shadow and light. Suspended in time, the woman’s foot creates tension as it is about to strike the ground. That tension becomes the focal point of the entire image – a place of convergence, and an expression of energy.
