I was photographing people passing through a vast lobby of a busy convention center. Just in front of the rest rooms and water fountains, I noticed a rectangle of light stretching across the floor. A woman stepped into this area and caught the light, allowing me to expose for these highlights and throw the rest of the long frame into shadow. Her energetic family has temporarily gone elsewhere, leaving her with a moment to touch her hair and relax her knees. Her graceful gesture represents a moment of peaceful respite, found within the calm of the soft shadows that surround her in this long, quiet frame.
