What caught my eye about this poster (OK, perhaps not the only thing that caught my eye) was the way the light hitting model's face was bisected by the light shining through the glass ceiling of the bus shelter. This division is echoed to some extent by the way the image is reflected both above (on the ceiling of the shelter) and on the glass at the back on the left.
It struck me because my day had been exactly that. A day sharply divided into light and shadow, with precious little in between. From the bus failing to come this morning and leaving me in the dark at the bus stop for half an hour when I needed to get in as early as possible to meet some deadlines, to finding that an overnight program failed to run, to finding that I was able to rewrite the program in a way that was far more efficient and do it in only a couple of hours, to BHP shares rising dramatically, to PRY shares falling dramatically... every moment of the day was either very good, or very bad. Almost nothing was just "eh, whatever".
Of course the shadow is only a metaphor since I see nothing that is actually "bad" here. Except perhaps the absence of a bus, but I was used to that after this morning.
