Left in the Sun
spots of interesting concrete, blazed by our star
∧ I looked up and slighty above me was this opened window. Emerging from the shadow of the interior I noticed some tropical plants that probably occupy the most luminous place of the apartment. This led me to press the shutter. Now that I can view the result I really like how the film stock rendered the blue of the sky reflecting on the window, which go in pair with the typical french blue street sign attached on the left.
∨ Ivy is an incredible plant. Eating up as much space as possible while defying gravity. This clump was interesting too shoot as being a very dense clump on a small area of a big white house, with a strong sun beam right on it ! Some stone walls in the foreground nicely layer the picture and give some charm to the composition.
∧ Not a beauty shot per say, a dusty scooter was parked outside next to some tagged trash bins. A probably broken suitcase was also left rotten there. However the old stone wall and massive wooden portal with a vivid sky blue color nicely brings some interest in this mundane scene. For some reason I found the frame of the film fitting for this shot and didn't cropped it out.
∧ No Facho ! A powerfull message on the white wall of some private property. Even more contrasty due to the intense sun there was on that day. And it's understandable given the context, we are in middle of the french legislative elections; the far right as menacing as ever. Those message of resistance has been flourishing all over the neighbourhood.
∧ Turning around the corner I quickly notice the big window of what is maybe a studio or other working place. The large piece of glass were covered in dust and most interestingly a lot of tropical plants left behind them. I took the shot parallel to the window creating nice straight geometrical shape that works well with the wall architecture.
