Filed under: Arts and Culture, Nicaragua, Photo of the Day The green first drew me to this photo and then the concept. This is a photograph turned into an artist's statement of sorts. Adam Baker, AlphaTangoBravo calls this shot he took in Granada, Nicaragua this past June "Dos Partes." Even if Baker hadn't divided this into two color schemes, there would have been two images. The men on the scooter (?) and the woman walking--blurred and in focus. The color division creates a surreal quality and an odd depth of field. Is the man in the front glancing at the woman and she at him? Also, the building's walls in need of repair are a contrast to the ornate details or the door frame. That's another way to look at two parts. Robust and crumbling. Possibilities or dreams gone by. I've just finished reading Pico Iyer's Sun After Dark, Flights into the Foreign, so perhaps I'm feeling a bit fanciful myself. If you have a shot to share, send it our way at Gadling's Flickr Photo Pool and it might be picked for a Photo of the Day. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
