This book shows a range of color images at the edge of an entire work.
Images that emerge from the basic, half-unconscious framing learned on the street.
In the case of the image of the woman's clasped hands, it was this fragment - suddenly in the frame - at the bus stop, uncomposed but quickly centered, that was the starting point of the image. One hand is bare, the other is gloved, and the presence of color film in the camera is almost incidental. After the film was developed, the glove she is wearing is distinctly red, but at the moment of exposure - placing the camera lens so close to the clasped hands - it was a much more intense experience than the intrusion into her personal space.

In the case of the picture of the woman's clasp hands- it was this fragment -suddenly in the frame- at the bus stop, not composed, but quickly centered, that was the start of the picture. One hand is bare and one is gloved and the fact of the color film in the camera is almost incidental. After developing the film the glove she is wearing is distinctly red - but at the time of the exposure - putting the camera lens so close to the clasp hands - was a much more intense experience - then the trespass into her personal space.
