Stillness
After a few days of feeling completely unable to take a photograph, something changed, today. For those of you who want a little bit or context, the man on the floor is an Eastern European gypsy, begging on the streets. Almost in surrender, he lies for hours, still, and prostrated on the floor, holding an empty cup, in the hope that passers by will donate money. The setting is in the heart of London's financial centre, and it's lunchtime. You can clearly see the street flood with wealthy businessmen and office workers, dressed immaculately, leaving the workplace for lunch break. The stark contrast between the two fascinated me, and so I found my frame, and just patiently waited for the right subjects to fill it, prior to firing the shutter release.
