Visiting

Lunar New Year Conversation

Finally got round to scanning the negatives that I developed over the weekend. This photo was taken on the CNY visiting circuit. In this cluttered room, there is an abstract sense of isolation that seems to be brought about by the symmetry in the postures of the subjects. I like this symmetry, one almost bordering on an yin yang sort of balance, which would have been better seen had I captured more of their feet. Anyway, to a certain extent almost everything is about balance. Yet asymmetricals alway intrigue. Perhaps something shy of pure symmetry is the best middle ground.
