Red Car Passing
Street colour and motion in Nelson, British Columbia, while waiting for the frame to arrange itself.
Street photographs often depend on one brief alignment.
A red car stops the eye. A cyclist cuts through the foreground. The rest of the street becomes support for that small collision of colour and motion.
The frame only lasts for a second, which is usually the point.
Street timing is good practice for documentary wedding photography because both depend on anticipation. You learn to see the frame before it fully arrives and to trust the quick, unscripted alignment.
