Obliviously

Obliviously, a photo by SL_Photos on Flickr.

There's a certain time of day in Chicago where the sun (either setting or rising) intersects with the building lines to bring together some amazing opportunities. I was primarily looking for shadows, following people as they hit the crosswalks. It's something that I've done before, with a little bit of success.




What I love about this shot is the homeless person on the right. There's a tension here, the couple is holding hands on a beautiful day and they're almost certainly not aware of the pain and destitution a foot away from them. To be honest, I wasn't looking at the homeless lady either. Stuff like that just doesn't get noticed when you're out shooting.
