People On Benches Frame 29 International Center of Photography Avenue of Americas NYC 1992

Exhibit In the Lobby of International Center of Photography, Avenue of

Americas New York City. Taken from sidewalk through plate glass lobby

window.

Really nice image Meir. I like the suggestion of people walking along in the reflection and the  feeling of isolation.

Unfortunately the common subject in the wall photos on display cannot be well seen on a monitor. Which was the point of the photo.

Thanks for commenting.

I looked closer and now I want to see the photos on the wall. This photo still works well, despite your intention. :)

Photos on the wall are a collection of "people on benches"   Europe I think.

Obvious on a print.

In the negative and print I am easily seen on one knee shooting the photo. That hardly shows here also and the pedestrians are more obvious.  Maybe I will scan the negative again with some scanner histogram adjustments first.

very interesting photograph and juxtaposition of at least three different layers of reality. The composition is great and the similarity of the main motif (man on the bench) with the motifs inside the picture frames is intriguing! In that sense this photograph gains a slight surreal touch, which also reminds me of the works of the dutch graphic artist M.C.Escher, where he also demonstrated intertwining layers/worlds of reality and recurring patterns.

Best regards,

Nikita

thank you for commenting and directing me to Escher of whom I am not familiar.
