I’m fascinated by the glimpses I get of people as they pass by me on buses, trains, and subways at night. There’s a freeze-frame view of another human who inhabits the same planet I do and then that person is gone from my gaze forever. The people are lit as if on stage, characters in a stop-action play.
Maybe I’m a transit voyeur.
In the Miraflores neighborhood of Lima, I tried to capture some of what I saw. Buses are common and crowded there, so there’s no shortage of subject matter. Unfortunately, my visual reach exceeds my photographic grasp. I’ve got to work on my technique. But I write my blog as much for myself as for other people. It’s a notebook of ideas, some of which I later turn into better things. So here are the results of my most recent photographic experiments.
