Girl in Red

Armando Martinez

Girl in Red

This pattern and line filled image isolates a lone girl in red. Taken in September of 2007 at the De Young Museum in San Francisco, the girl is set upon a dizzying array of stairs reflected by a glass wall which shows the reflection of an imperfect world.
She descends as if on her way to the bottom of an unseen future.

    Wonderful capture. Would have been great to have seen the images as they progressed as the reflection kicked in.

    robbah: it would have been interesting but her Mom was right next to her around the corner. I think it would not have been as good a shot anyways because I like the way everything is reflected except for her.
    Thanks for the comments.
