Medieval City # 1
I find London a fascinating city, a hustle and bustle of energy in a metropolis of steeped in history and culture. When visiting I like nothing more than getting up before sunrise and just walking the streets with my camera. Everyone always seems to be so purposed and focused on their affairs for the day that I am hardly noticed. Combine this energy with a city that exudes character and I lose myself in photography heaven. This shot was taken at an entrance to one of the many subways in London. One of the reasons I like photographing early morning is because you don’t have masses of people around. I was going to shoot this picture without the pedestrian and while playing around with the composition I heard the footsteps of someone approaching. When I looked back and saw a middle aged man dressed in black approaching. I instantly knew that I had a shot in the making. As he passed by and walked down the subway I got off one exposure. I was very pleased with the placement of the individual and the line created by the balustrades. The picture somehow reminds me of monastery.
