It sure is green doors, and a blue ribbon.
Funny that the photo I love the most is the one I am least able to explain. But I'll try ... First, I think the title is right. The first thing we see are the green doors, the ones ahead of us and the ones behind us. This puts us in mind of inside and outside. Then of course we have the girl peeking at us, she is inside the car but her head pokes outside. The closed car reflects us, and more doors. The man on the other side of the car completes the symmetry of the situation. His presence makes the photographer's reflection seem deliberate, even necessary.
and also, it's all just beautiful, plain beautiful. The pallet is simple, reds and greens, transcended by the little girls outfit and her pink sleeves. There is unexpected warmth to this street scene, as if we were indoors instead of outdoors... inside / outside.
writing about this photograph, I feel like a deer trying to describe the car that hit me. the impact is so obvious to me. |
