Time for another installment of “why I like this picture”, or “it’s winter, let’s blog”.
This time, the image comes from Megan and Kevin‘s wedding reception at the New Albany Links Country Club. This was during cocktail hour; guests were arriving and greeting one another and gearing up for a fun evening.
Sometimes I like to just stand back and watch what happens – through my camera, of course. It’s interesting to me to watch people interact, to try to see patterns and shapes and compositions.
I like this particular image because it has all those things. I like the undulating quality of the heads spread across the width of the photo and how if you move your eyeballs from left to right it’s like a rollercoaster. I like that everyone is occupied because it makes me wonder what they’re thinking about or talking about. I like that I am standing there with my camera aimed in the direction of all those people and they’re all completely ignoring me. That’s the way I like it – it makes for the most interesting and intriguing photos.
