While others come to Mission Beach to relax and play, some earn their livelihoods here. This man washes the windows of an elaborate beach house along the Boardwalk. I create an expressive image out of such a literal subject by emphasizing his reflected image in the window, as much as the man himself. The evening sun illuminates his arm and the back of his neck, as well as some of the clothing he wears. His intense expression, and well as the tool he uses, comes through in the silhouetted profile visible in the reflection. I compose the image as a study in repeating geometric rhythms. The diagonal thrust of the legs is repeated in the diagonal line of the ladder and the diagonal reflection. The repeating vertical thrusts of the window separators carry us through the image, as well.
