Jimi, the Girl, and the Flying Carpet.

J’ai pris cette image de ma voiture alors que j’attendais que le feu passe au vert. C’était un peu trop tard... Le temps de prendre l’appareil, la jeune femme aux écouteurs s’était déplacée, en marchant, vers la gauche. Trop pour que la photo soit bien équilibrée. «L’instant parfait» était passé.
Je poste néanmoins l’image car il y a une certaine correspondance entre le portrait de J.Hendrix, la jeune fille - qui représente tout à la fois la possibilité d’une aventure amoureuse et la musique - et le tapis volant symbolisant la liberté des années soixante-dix...


I took this image through the window of my car while I was waiting for the traffic light to turn green. It was a little too much late ... The time for me to hold the camera, the young woman with the earphones, walkin, had moved towards the left. Too much so that the photo is not well-balanced. "The perfect moment" was over.
I post nevertheless the image because there is a certain correspondence between the portrait of J.Hendrix, the girl - which represents quite at the same time a taste of romance and music - and the flying carpet symbolizing the freedom of the seventies ...

Great street shot nonetheless, considering the conditions. Really like the different elements. "V"

Even with the shortness of time you came up with a super composition. V

a resonant image with this combination of elements...it can be a challenge to catch some images when time is short..

What an amazing combination!

Great shot under tough conditions. I like the spontaneity here. The issue with balance is nothing that a small crop in from the right to remove the box can't fix IMHO.

I think that it is fresh and interesting. It s always a challenge when you take a "grab shot"."V"

Helen Betts01-Oct-2017 13:00
Timing aside, it's a fascinating capture. V.

Even though taken at the last moment its a great shot. I can almost hear jimi singing "Little Wing"....V

Captures the spirit of the moment and the period of time in our lives.

Dream on, it was an incredible period!

Where? Obviously in France, but what a tremendous pot-pourri of cultures...
