Vancouver, BC
Cartier Bresson talks about the decisive moment in photography. The moment when subjects and surroundings align and you click the shutter to capture the image. Umbrellas are a theme in street photography. They add to an image and create a story. I was wandering around Gastown in Vancouver looking for images and this presented itself. I was lucky enough to click the shutter at just the right moment with umbrellas evenly spaced, walking down this alley, streetlights visible. I loved the geometry of the buildings and the bridges that connect them. The wet ground adds a nice touch as well.
Sometimes you capture the decisive moment and sometimes you don’t. With the image above I believe I did. What do you think?
Until Tomorrow,
