industrial background

While out looking for interesting elements to shoot for the Game, I drove by this group of young photographers and their photo-session with the curious box heads. I hung my camera out the car window and shot a series of images as I slowly drove by. They saw me shooting them – whilst photographing each other – and then they all turned and photographed me photographing them. Funny and playful.

I liked the color connection and how the human figures emulated the repeated forms of Robert’s image. My shot also adds additional context for my fellow players to have their way with, selfies? Photographs of photographers being photographed?

It is a fun play on how often we as photographers are rarely in our own pictures. As I am fond of saying regarding our friend’s and family photos, “Russ Widstrand not pictured”.
