Sitting on a bench alongside of New York City’s Madison Square Park, a man puts aside his cane and his packages to watch the passing parade of New Yorkers on lunch break. He must seem invisible to the two businessmen as they pass him by. The man energetically leading the way is speaking. He gestures forcefully, yet he does not glance at either the man he is talking to, or the man who looks at him from the bench. I made this photograph with a wideangle lens at very close range. None of these men saw me as I made this street photograph – their attention is elsewhere. There are multiple contrasts here – the man on the bench is dressed differently than the others -- he sits, while the businessmen walk past him at full stride. They also express variation in attitude and lifestyle. Yet all three of them still manage to share a common moment here. My lens captures and juxtaposes them incongruously in both space and time. As viewers, we are left to imagine what the speaker might be saying, and what the others are thinking as he speaks.
