The image above entitled "Hope and Fear" placed third in a duality themed photo contest. It was an image I shot at the Crown Fountain in Millenium Park in Chicago a couple of summers back while on a trip there to see friends and some of Margaret's family. I've always liked the different reactions of the homeless man and young boy - they almost seem opposite of what they should be.
The judges comments were as follows:
The actions of the subjects in this photo just seem to shout "duality". While an old man reaches up, embracing the falling water, his face twisted either in pain or exuberance or both, the young boy next to him retreats unhappily beneath the shower of water. Or is he exhilarated? Either way, we feel that a powerful instant is captured here.
