Khoi, this shot is so web 2.0 … slanted lines, drop shadow, perhaps even some slight gradations here and there.
I was thinking pretty much the same thing while I was posting this picture, but I couldn’t quite express it in words. It’s no accident though, really; I’m naturally drawn to graphical elements in photographs, whether natural or artificial.
I love those bus shelters for just this reason.
I love the way the woman has her two arms positioned along the lines… was she a model asked to pose?
Thanks for giving love to my town, Khoi! I stare at those stripes 4 times a day, and I totally get you!
Slanted and Enchanted.
