quotidie
pilot week
day 3 (december 27)

going through all the photos of this day, i find myself drawn to this one the most. a photo of a mother and her daughter running to catch the bus came a close second, but this still won me over by a mile.

i am not sure what draws me to this. maybe it's the contrast of the sillhouetted metal structures against the bright afternoon sun streaking through the clouds. or maybe it's the eye-catching red and orange traffic lights in the middle of the photo, in the middle of stark black, in the middle of that bright afternoon sun.

and the smudged look of the photo, almost dreamy. that's one thing i consciously tried to capture while taking this because i was aware of the moist windows on the bus we were in. (i am now looking for a way to smudge my lens filter with some sort of gel to recreate that dreamy feel, without my father deeming it irresponsible.)


pause and look up at the sky.
