Bethesda Terrace, Central Park, New York City, New York, 2009

Built in the 1870s as the centerpiece of Central Park, Bethesda Terrace is the weekend home of amateur performers who sing, dance, and ridicule their audience. I photographed the reaction of this spectator in red, who, along with her friend in the green hat, makes this part of the old terrace into her private viewing gallery. Her vivid coloration contrasts to the mellow 19th century stone embellishments that surround her, and adds emphasis to her enthusiastic gesture of delight.
