This book shows a range of color images at the edge of an entire work.
Images that emerge from the basic, half-unconscious framing learned on the street.
In the case of the image of the woman's clasped hands, it was this fragment—suddenly in the frame—at the bus stop, uncomposed but quickly centered, that was the image's starting point. One hand is bare, the other is gloved, and the presence of color film in the camera is almost incidental. After the film was developed, the glove she is wearing is distinctly red, but at the moment of exposure—placing the camera lens so close to the clasped hands—it was a far more intense experience than the intrusion into her personal space.
