A triad (plus one)

072014

Triads are good compositional elements, a rule I willfully ignored when making this photo of some sprinkler valves on the campus of the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops.

Rules are made to be broken, right?

Also, it didn’t seem right to ask someone to remove one of the valves. For one thing, I don’t know which one I would have wanted out of the picture (literally).

Busker, Santa Fe

What in the world? A picture of a PERSON?!

I watched this guy for a long time, enjoying the range of expressions on his face. Between songs, he’d sometimes linger in the silence, and stare off across the Plaza. Once, he and the nearby balloon-seller had a short conversation. A woman with long blonde hair talked to him three or four different times; once she put some money in his jar, and twice he smiled.

And that’s all I know about the busker I watched.

No, not really. I’ve not been to Paris. But I did go to Santa Fe.
