One Moment More “Decisive” than Another
Images Copyright Vincent Versace 2008
By Vincent Versace
I was was taught since the tender age of seven, or should I say it was beaten into my extremely think head since the tender age of seven, that the background is every bit as important as the subject. That a great moment can be ruined by simply not paying attention the things that surround that moment visually. What makes this image work “better” in this gift of a moment from the Holy man I am photographing, is that the background is being provided by a fast moving bus. I saw the bus coming out of the corner of my eye. What I was thinking was I’m going to start shooting because things travel at the speed of life, but I’m going to do is say the Photographer’s Prayer of “Oh please oh please OOOOH PLEEEEASE…” and hope tha tall the moments hold for the bus to “happen” at the right moment. Just so you know I say that prayer a lot. I’ve made a career out praying.
