A boy runs down Fulton Street in the Bed-Stuy section of Brooklyn. I had heard the birds rustling and wanted to get my camera out take a picture of them flying en masse. I almost missed the birtds but when I stared into the viewfinder I saw that boy and thought he would make a great foreground to the birds.
As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.
This image from the late 1980s, predates all digital editing and what is captured, is exactly what was seen in viewfinder - there was no postproduction editing.
This image was done in late 1980s on Polaroid's instant slide film Polapan - a prefect film for beauty and boudoir photography as skin tones were rendered silky.
... a 'grab' just after I changed lens and model was no posing
