The sweeper, Cismigiu Garden, Bucharest, Romania, 2009

The rhythmic pattern of diagonal shafts of morning light, filtering through an avenue of 19th century trees, incongruously creates a cathedral-like setting for a sweeper at work. The branches of the trees diagonally arch over the scene, allowing the sunlight to stream between them. Even the sweepers arms, broom, and feet, as well as a green message board, are oriented as diagonals. I spent more than 15 minutes and several hundred frames here – waiting for someone to come along and match the natural diagonals. Patience, as is often the case, produced a solution.

Such is the great advantage of independent travel for photographers. With a group, I never would have been able to wait for this shot.
