Synchronicity, part deaux
When street photography works, it quite often seems staged, like an art director has placed all the elements precisely where they need to be. In fact they've only lined up for a fraction of a second and then have continued on their original, disparate trajectories.
I had been waiting for a couple of woman, walking with shopping bags, to walk through the scene. This would have given me the synchronicity I was looking for. But that was in my head and had yet to be committed to an actual image capture.
And then, and then, out of the blue, this guy sits down and starts to open his lunch box, inadvertently mimicking the statue on the right hand side, both in hand gesture and blank like stare of the face.
Right time, right place, with camera in hand. Synchronicity indeed.
