Corner of Wall and Broad Streets, New York City, New York, 2009

Standing on the steps of Federal Hall, I was able to use my high vantage point to stress the separation between a tourist who seems to bent on figuring out where he wants to go next, and the other bemused tourists who seem to be studying him from a safe distance. By separating themselves from him, the group at right might be implying that they might know something that he doesn’t.

Thanks, V,, for noticing the role of the light here. It makes them stand out from the background, and emphasizes, as you note, their responses.

Very nice lighting in this photo. The lighting here really makes it as it picks up the expressions on their faces.
