Serving The World Poetry

Poetry


Image by an untrained eye

October 29th, 2009 - New York, United States

This was genuinely - no cheating, I promise - the first photograph I took with my new Leica D-LUX 4. I'd bought it in the duty free at Geneva airport, and when I arrived in New York in late afternoon, I headed straight out in the hope of taking a few shots before the daylight faded completely. As you can see from this shot, it was already getting quite dark before I spotted my first potential subject. It's a testament to the camera's qualities that the resulting image is - with the exception, sadly, of some of the details of the woman - so crisp.

As for the woman's laugh, I'd love to be able to say that I had just charmed her with some suitably gallant compliment. But in fact she was unaware I was taking this shot - she's actually laughing somewhat contemptuously at a man with whom she appeared just to have had an argument, and who was firing back a volley of insults at her as he slunk away into the gathering gloom.
