Some pictures require a different kind of “seeing” , a deeper analysis of what your actually being confronted with visually !
Although this moment is static I still consider this to be a “Special” moment , certainly serendipitous , relying on a number of “coincidences” , including a glimpse of “Time Travel” ?
The background of this picture is made up of padlocked building site gates that have been tidied up with photographic representations from the past to reduce the “Eye Sore” effect , strangely the old monochromatic photo depicts parked vintage cars, that appear to be ignoring the modern red “NO PARKING” sign added by a site worker with a real sense of context , the juxtaposition is completed by a real modern car being parked up against the “Vintage” gates that is ignoring the no parking sign too !
This picture is enhanced by the monochromatic qualities of the composition which in turn enhances the isolated colour of the fortuitous red sign !
Although this view is as found , it is not spontaneous as I had visualised the possibility of this shot more than a week before making the capture when a yellow car was in position , sometimes the wrong thing informs me of what is really needed , you know when its not right !
Thankfully this white car with black windows turned up …
You have to be aware of good fortune when it arrives , I was ready and waiting for this , one week later …
This is a full colour capture , without any digital shenanigans …
