Intent

Behind the frame

What I was trying to do:: This was when I first moved to London, feeling very inspired by Ernst Haas, and I wanted to capture the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street.
What worked:: I love how the classic red bus created a swath of color behind the subjects.
What I'd do differently:: It would have been nice to have more people at different distances to create a sense of space in the frame. I would also love to gain the confidence to try this technique with flash, though I love the painterly effect no flash creates.

Yes very painterly. Love the pop of green in there.
