Artist's Description
It was a cold December day in the City of Angels. I came in on the 12:15 from the sleepy town of San Luis Obispo. I had time to kill - time enough to hop the Red Line towards Tinseltown. At a stop along the way I saw her. She wore a coat and hat - the kind of hat that could cast a shadow big enough to cover the town like a solar eclipse. Her handbag - it was big enough to hold three watermelons. I watched her ascend from the depths and disappear onto the streets of Los Angeles. My work was done - the pigeons could follow from here.
This photograph was made in a subway station on the LA Metro with a fisheye lens. I lay my upper body down on the divider between the up and down escalators, composed the shot, and waited. Soon I was rewarded with not only the perfect passenger, but a very cooperative flock of birds overhead. The result was this moody and mysterious photo.
About Darin Volpe

I have been photographing the things I see for over thirty years. A resident of San Luis Obispo County, I'm lucky to have many excellent photo destinations within a few minutes' or hours' drive. Beyond the local area, I have traveled throughout California and the western United States, visited far away American destinations such as Chicago, New York, Florida, and Alaska, and international destinations in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. My photography varies from Architecture to Industrial Art to Nature to Wildlife and I'm sure you'll find something suitable for your home or office. Visit my blog

I adore this one - the tones, the clarity, and above all the perspective. Great framing of the scene through the opening and nice silhouette of the upward bound figures. Congratulations on the first place win in the ABC group's recent "U is for Upward Point of View" contest.

Great combination of straight lines and curves. Awesome image!

I've seen many street shots, but this one certainly is unique! The perspective, angle and light, in addition to the vertical format, man and woman on the escalator, AND the birds, simply makes the whole image come together. Perfect composition, and effect. Technically superb. This is very good work. :o)

I agree with the previous comment - this is a perfect photo, if there is such a thing - light, color, angle, the ascending women on the right gives it scale and mystery!
