Disoriented, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 2016

After making the preceding image, I stepped away from the window at the top of the world’s highest building and photographed some of the visitors who were visiting its observation tower. A man stands before the large copper sculpture in the middle of the room and scratches his head. He seems disoriented, wondering where to go next. Perhaps he is baffled by the meaning of the sculpture itself. He becomes our focal point, and all else becomes context.

Thanks, MGB. Both the moment and the colors tell a story. The man seems caught between the colorful surroundings of the observation deck, dominated by an abstract sculpture, and the dizzying view of the city beyond those windows. He seems isolated in both time and space.

You are a master at capturing the moment. Great colors, too.
