An inspired street photographer 2

The photo that you certainly do not expect in this episode number 2

ALEX0031 2.jpg

I chose this photo because it comes to break the rigid mental frame of certain street photography.

When I am on the street I observe everywhere and without preclusions of any kind. The plastic cup emerging from a hole in the asphalt was the call to photograph, but by itself it wouldn't have made much sense. On the other hand, in the graphism encountered there is a different dimension that attracts me. The shadow of the human figure is particular to the point that the arm that ends with a closed fist takes on a bizarre shape, almost like a grotesque horse.

Certain urban details that give me photos that wink at abstract art I take them as gifts from the street.
