mall fishing

Street Photography Assignment:  Fishing…identifying an interesting background (traffic signs, billboards, leading lines) and create a juxtaposition with a subject who walks into the frame.

The image with the child running as if the mannequin is pointing in the direction he should go is my favorite of the four.  What are your thoughts about “mall fishing”?

What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means.  What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see.  You should not let it pass, thinking there will be another chance to see it or to acquire it. It is quite unusual to have a second chance to materialize your desire.

“… the present situation [is] the fruition of former choices…engage it as the arena for what is to come. …embrace the ambiguity of a present that is simultaneously tied to an irrevocable past and free for an undetermined future.*
