Waiting in Baltimore
"I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer." ~ Alfred Eisenstaedt
I snapped this photo in Baltimore, Md., while stopped at a street light. It was a gray, dismal day, and the brilliant background colors drew my attention away from the traffic and towards the two people waiting at the bus station. As I study the photo now, I see one person was in deep thought, while the other person was engaged in the moment. Yes, I cut their feet off, but what do you expect? I grabbed the fist camera I could get my hands on and got off one shot before the light changed. Besides, a little lower, and you would have seen my car window. Eisenstaedt's quote has been the thought of many a photographer. With technology moving so fast, who knows? Click may one day be Blink.
