To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression. ~Henri Cartier-Bresson
In this case, I think I just got lucky… I had no idea that, when this hot air balloon began to rise, there would be the silhouette of a woman behind it. I can only really take credit for being ready, with a camera in my hand and an exposure already dialed in.
Image made with my Hasselblad 500 C/M at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. I like this image in color as well (and I will post that version eventually), but I love it in black and white. And it looks better, to me, on black.
Karel Ludwig, Composition, 1977
