If evocative story-telling is our objective, try to look for subjects who may be trying to do many things at once. Such situations are usually rich in both incongruity and human values. Gesture, body language, and response hold the keys to such expression. For example, this woman is talking on the phone, and carries a bag on her shoulder while simultaneously juggling keys, a bottle of water, and a piece of paper in her hands. Her body language is tense as she emerges from a storefront on Klamath Fall’s main street. She looks at us with one eye, intent on maintaining both the phone conversation and control of her various burdens. She is already harried, and the day has hardly begun. I frame her between stone columns brushed with sun. A calm sky blue background contrasts with her hectic situation. We can all relate – we’ve been in similar situations.
