Hello Hugh,
Cette boite commande les mouvements de toute la ville. Le problème, c'est que l'on a perdu la clé. Alors depuis, plus personne n'a le contrôle de la situation, et surtout pas celui qui croit être le plus puissant du monde.
Comme dans l'excellent film de JOHN CARPENTER que j'adore : "Invasion Los Angeles" : "Obey" "watch TV".
Une scène de fiction très inspirée, j'aime beaucoup.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hi Hugh.

Excellent POV, composition and depth of field on this one, with a girl in blue on a side, a girl in red on the other... like if blue and red had to walk on different paths!
Talking about control, I feel uncomfortable with the generalised use of cameras in the streets... I don't know how important it is in your place but in France the presence of cameras in urban areas increased during the last years. As suggests Fabrice, will the worst of the science fiction scenarios come with it?

Best Regards,
Marine

Hello Hugh,

Excellent composition. The DoF is very impressive. You must've waited for the right moment to snap the women at the right time.
