man and the bus stop

As I was driving home from shooting all day on Fiona’s Script, I pulled up to the light in Glen Park and was caught by the juxtaposition of this man using the large Gap ad to read his newspaper by. The position left a lot of room for a mind to wander on. Plus a the addition of the reflection of the ad being streaked by the etched lines of the glass added another dimension. I wish I had more time / energy to jump out of the van and click off a few more images. But perhaps the intrusion would have dispelled the magic.

… edit …

Funny thing happened the next day driving to set. Beautiful picture drive-by op again. (although I was too slow to get it, and not packing the balls that day to stop traffic for it). This time a gal sitting on a road barrier next to her 60s/70s bike, dressed appropriately in shiny blue leather, smoking a cig. The look on her face said to me that some shit had gone down that needed riding, and then contemplating … I thought at first she was waiting for two girls who were approaching her. Turns out she could care less and didn’t make a move as they squeezed by around her.
