Still Life, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan 19 x 14.25 in. $575 - framed $500 - unframed
As in the photograph “Woman Exiting Subway Station,” I was arrested by this scene before there was a person in the picture. I felt it was like a still life, with each of the objects a oneness of repose and energy—the light blue chairs and yellow pole, the bicyle, and that mischievous looking cactus on the red canopy. But it was missing something until there came by this woman whose dark yet lively form strides in the opposite direction to that of the bicycle and chairs.

Sometimes, I see a possible photograph and feel it needs something more. In this one, as I came up out of the subway, I saw a triangle of light piercing the darkness. I liked the geometry and angles, and intensified them by tilting the camera. Then this woman appeared. She had the straight lines and angles of her surroundings and curves that seemed to complete them. She came from below, walking with grace and determination out of the depths of a New York City subway station. Seen from the back in silhouette her form is impersonal, and I felt she stands for humanity making its way from darkness into light.

There are dramas that take place daily on New York City street corners and I felt this was one. The woman on the right leans in and gestures energetically. Her companion leans away, and seems uncertain. The lively white stripes of the crosswalks form a dynamic angle that includes them both, and is related to the angles formed by their expressive arms. I think they have a certainty that contrasts usefully with the uncertainty between the two women.
