This photo is phenomenal on so many levels! The strong lines bisecting upper from lower… the incredibly serious man emerging up the stairway (is he German? for some reason, I’m having fun imagining that he’s German)…
…The beautiful, visual pun of his domed head echoing the domed building behind him…
🙂
Truly, a masterwork of composition and incredible timing.
He does look German. Perhaps it’s the direct look of determination and discipline on his face.
Re: composition, Cartier-Bresson once said, “the greatest joy for me is geometry.” I could say the same, except now that I’ve played steel drums, I’d have to say they’re tied at the top. Of course, there’s some geometry involved in playing a steel drum…
An excellent image of the Pluto in Capricorn midpoint. The rotunda (church/state), the bisection, the upper/lower modes, the sociability of the upper deck, the seriousness and directness of the foreground man.
Thank you, Dani!
