Response to Just Another Street Shot

from Tony Rowlett (rowlett@alaska.net)
Interestingly, the immediate environment in this people photograph is more detailed and really more interesting than the person by herself. The girl is secondary. The girl becomes the environment, and the environment becomes the subject. What I think about when I look at her, though, is how interesting people's expressions are when they're walking along the street, totally involved in their own thoughts, totally unaware of the outside world except perhaps what to avoid steping on or walking in. The inside world, however, is full with personal issues like what to cook for dinner, how to fit something into a schedule, or what a busy day they have tomorrow. The girl being ofset so far from a more traditional subject region really makes an interesting image.
