Mike Henley

Hidden in plain sight - behind that distant camouflage of crowd and concrete - is someone whom you just became acutely aware of having a telephoto lens pointed at you.

This image would ideally be best viewed much bigger than the 800x600 supplied here to retain the compositional context and yet enable to witness the startled, apprehensive expression of the subject, as seen magnified here

; in the picture, In the forefront of the hustle and bustle in the background, is a person frozen in paranoid bewilderment, suddenly distracted from the continuing conversation of his visually-engaging companion whose ongoing activity is further emphasized by her half-stepped pose.

It reminds me of Mark Romanek's video for Beck's "devil's haircut" song- especially the final, revelatory scenes that come after the line "everywhere I look there's a devil in waiting."
