Photo Blog Fifteen: Anonymous

On the Bay Trail along the airport, next to Tom Sarge Field.

I meant to take a photo of my mom at the far right, but including this family of four (five, if you count the dog!) complete strangers in the photo made for a much more interesting composition. I like how while the viewpoint is held in a fixed alignment with the man at the center, there are other figures that draw your attention and place your focus over a flexible range. There is an element of one-point perspective along the path, leading to someplace behind my mom’s head. All of the subjects’ faces are turned in the opposite direction, which together with the monochrome style creates anonymity.
