Description

Deep in the practice of watching intently for stories unfolding before me, knowing that we, as street photographers, are attempting to align ourselves within the context of a chaotic universe to find moments of harmony which we can pull from the world, for eyes that will mostly never understand the impossibility of the instance, I saw this moment developing just blocks away and sprinted to capture what I felt most certain I wouldn't. Walking up S. Grand and 6th, I caught a glimpse of a couple on a BMX bombing the hill from 5th and Grand. A short, steep shot down to 7th, they were coming fast. I'd noticed her high up on his back as they flew down the street on a tiny bike without time to contemplate what was happening before I took off in a full sprint to meet the moment. Running with my dog leash in one hand and my camera in the other, I noticed a bus coming, at its own pace, between them and the AT&T Center building, which would have served as a horrible backdrop to the speeding couple. I knew my best chance would be to catch them framed against the dark bellows of the articulated bus, so in a lurching motion I steadied my camera and fired off a burst just moments before hitting the concrete, on my side, camera held up safely in the air. With my dog, Danger, in my face, I checked my camera to discover a moment, surprisingly aligned, that revealed an expression of elation on a face watching chaos tumbling just feet from her to capture their descent. The act of catching this moment aside, everything about this image elicits a feeling of great freedom and child-like happiness in me!
