What I am enjoying the most, having recently discovered your blog, is the overlap in our subject matter and the different ways we have of making a photo. And don’t you find it odd to see a ferris wheel pod (for want of a better word) with only one person in it?
Absolutely. There’s got to be a story there for sure! I wish I could claim that I noticed this person right away and that my photo was some lofty attempt to capture a mood of tragic loneliness, but alas, I was mostly just aiming for something abstract. I didn’t even notice the guy until I developed the film. But really, for me at least, that’s what turned out to make the image compelling.
