Bus, Reflections


A lot of photorealist paintings have all kinds of reflections going on. So this photograph could possibly serve as a template for one, but . . . the interesting angle here is that I took it from inside the bus while it was stopped in traffic in front of the mirrored facade of this building.

So you still have the photographic concept of the moment, which I think is intrinsic to this particular photograph.

(The facade is actually reflecting the bus as well as the Fred French Building . . . I had to read the letters backwards and do a Google search. I would have liked to have visited Mr. French's building!)
