Always, an image of people is a study of the interaction of place and movement--suffused with the interaction of emotion and roles. The two women on the left arrived with the one on the far right. It was a street event in front of a participating restaurant (Mooney's) on Market Street in Corning, NY. The two on the right connected immediately, and possibilities emerged. The focal person on the right was a server--and had to meet many roles.

The central enigma concerns a woman sitting at a table just inside the restaurant, who observed me watching with my gear and as I rose for the image, she lifted a magazine to conceal her image. Truly a HCB synchronicity...

Secret Squirrel Society Note: This image is from my archives, and captured years ago. It has languished unobserved until now. This is a synthesis between cumulative vision and contemporary interpretive expression...

Oh my...

This is just a wonderful portrait. It evokes the classic portrait style, and the use of the downlight and top backlight brings you out in this. It is a soulful image and the kind that people once cared about when they documented their lives...

The paparazzi are everywhere. She was in fear here image would be plastered on the Corning tabloids. Our imaginations can write the story.
