One of the delightful perks of my venue as a university employee is that I am frequently exposed to varied and usually new experiences related to the Arts; so it was when I was invited to photograph (as well as help set up) a stage for a demonstration of the latest in motion-capture technology.
Thus I was in a unique position to record a moment of suspended animation, as it were, when one of the expert technicians was paused in contemplation of his next step on the path ahead.
This composition features some interesting symmetries: the steps rhyme with the staff's seven lights; the ovoid turban subtly echos the arc of the odd, undulating cord tracing across the mid-background. All in all a complex depiction of serene competence, stasis and implied motion cohabiting interiors physical and mental.
