I was lurking inside of an archway, focusing my camera on a patch of sunlight in the street and waiting for someone to walk into my picture. Instead of shooting from outside the arch in, I turned things around and tried it in reverse. It worked -- a lot of folks came by, but none as intense as this fellow who seems to be a technician in search of his customer. Once again, I used my spot meter to expose for the bright light on the street itself, which made all shadows become very dark. The image becomes quite abstract as result – the late afternoon light falls on side of the technician and dramatically carves his shadow onto the paving stones. But the stage here was not a stage, nor was this man an actor. All is real. The theatricality comes from nature itself, and the story, frozen within the frame by light and by time, is all about a man in search of his work. And I was able to capture this moment in time, light, and space because of my position, deep within the shadows of the archway.
