La Mer


This photo was part of a random 7am excursion along the seafront on one of those intermittent rainy days. I can't remember why I decided to leave the house at such a strange hour of the morning; maybe I couldn't sleep, maybe I was angry and trying to cool off. This photo is one of my personal favorites of that particular walk. There are a couple of aspects of this photo that I love: for example, I love the variety of lines involved, like the horizon, the curb, the double yellows, even the streetlights. Also, the rain adds a nice sheen to the road surface and darkens the pavement, which creates an interesting contrast. I also really like the splash of yellow added by the van in the background, and the grain from using ISO 3200 gives it a nice, gritty, almost dirty effect.
