About the Image(s)

I took this picture in Lisbon last March as a photo trip and met the photographer Rui Palha, of whom I'm inspired by his work. The kobalt paved streets of Lisbon and Alfama neighbourhood are a haven for street photography. I waited in the rain on a street corner, for a subject to show in the bright light reflecting off the stones. I was hoping they would walk towards me and become bigger in the frame, however the opposite happened, and they became smaller as they were walking away from me. I had to crop the picture (about 25% at the bottom and right). In addition I increased the contrast.
