From a series of shots I had taken of these cake designers closing shop at the end of the day. Rather reminiscent of French street photographs I’ve come across in old books.
Of the entire series, I found this image the most intriguing. A narrative of what came before, what is current, and how it will be resolved sometime later. The design works as well.
Design is all around us–a grand design, if you will! We just need to makes sense of it and put it into action.

Summer 2015, Downtown Asheville, North Carolina.
Anticipation is key to street photography. You may never have a concrete idea of what you will capture at a moment’s notice, but always anticipate that something will eventually cross your path. At the last second, while observing the performers and onlooking crowd, I noticed the gentleman to the very left slowing sneaking up behind the very surprised girl in the orange shirt. A bit off setting? Sure. But it was quite obvious from how it turned out that it was the young girl’s father. Photos can lie. But an explanation of the story behind the image can put things into perspective.

Expect the unexpected
