Quiet Time
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Yesterday, I mentioned our ride on the double-decker bus with the open top. Sitting on the upper level definitely changes one’s picture-taking opportunities. First, one can discreetly photograph pictures of subjects one might normally be reluctant to approach with a ready-to-shoot iPhone; second, things one is used to seeing at street level look different from higher up. Today’s photo illustrates both points. I saw these two elderly ladies having a quiet time on the Croisette while enjoying the rays of the early evening sun from pretty far away, so I had ample time to get ready to take their picture without them noticing just as the bus passed them by. I also feel that the angle from above makes this snapshot more interesting, but that’s subjective, so feel free to disagree.
