One of my favorite photographs is "The Wall" taken by Steve McCurry. The extraordinary brightness of the blue walls with the deep red hand prints scattered on the surface, and the young boy in mid flight as he is running through the alley. What I love most about this photograph is the simplicity of the composition. There is no excess foreground or background or business of life, there is just one figure enclosed by his surroundings. In many of McCurry's images he puts himself at eye level with the subject which to me puts greater emphasis on what they are doing at that moment. In my work I find that I tend to look either up or down and very rarely at the same level as the subject. In regards to my personal work, this is something that I aspire to develop. To put myself on the same level as the subject while still being able to play with the architectural angels.
