It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

A Sunday Afternoon
Wow, I am EXCITED about this one! It is unusual these days that I am around people so when I saw this scene, I moved in to be closer to the couple in the foreground. Then I composed the shot, being mindful of the fishermen in the distance, and the young girl on the bicycle way back. I waited and waited and took the occasional shot, but it wasn't until the man in the center walked there from the background, that I realized everything had fallen into place. I made three exposures, and the girl on the bicycle disappeared around the corner, and the moment was over. To me this image is all about foreground, middle ground and background, and balance. This is a larger than normal file, so please click on it to see it in more detail.
Very interesting, like a chess board where you placed the pieces. How would this look in black & white ? thanks
