#sundaybluesedit Sunday Selection @__malcome

Street Lapse part 2

Sometimes when I’m deciding on an image to highlight for the Sunday Selection I will look through the week’s past images one by one, sometimes as a grid seeing which one might scream out to me and sometimes there is an image I can’t get out of my head. I’ve selected this shot of Malcome’s because it is such an image. Upon first glance it seems like a street shot that maybe I’ve seen before or that I know from somewhere else but when I focused in, something else happened. It shook my brain. Not just with it’s visual reverberations but also with the sense that I had been there before, like a lost memory or even a dream. Take a close look at this amazing image by Malcome and wake up!

Malcome: Often at times, I’ll be scheduled to work in downtown Los Angeles and for the past couple of years there has been this particular man who has been hitch hiking the same freeway exit almost every time I have gone. Now, I’m not a street photographer by any means. I’m usually scared to death of getting caught, and my anxious behavior makes me easily noticeable, but something told me to shoot and so I did.

To me, the “time lapsed” feel depicted in the image kind of represents all of those days and hours spent waiting in that same area. Waiting for that little dose of help that he may never get.

Many thanks to all of the kind folks in Juxt for this opportunity.
