I initially intended this image to be black and white – further abstracting the already blurred figures rushing across the spot of light falling on the vast marble floor of the station. But when I saw how the small orange glow coming from the illuminated display on the cell phone of the woman at the center of the image created a focal point and added much to the meaning of this photograph, I retained the color. If I had converted this image to black and white as originally planned, the phone would vanish as a focal point, and the image would fail to express its multi-taking message. The lesson here is clear: it is usually best to let our content determine the form of an image, rather than to allow the form of an image to dictate its content and dilute the message in the process.
