Mausoleum, Bridgetown, Barbados, 2010

This quiet image was essentially monochromatic in subject matter, so it was a natural for black and white conversion. The ornamentation on this mausoleum speaks of another time, and the passing of three centuries is echoed on the continuing bands of light and shadow that carry vertically across the frame. I composed the image so the horizontal base of the ornamentation in the lower left corner rhythmically repeats the window-sill I include in the upper left hand corner, giving the image a diagonal thrust as well as horizontal movement.
