20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Frame within

On South Spring Street, in Downtown Los Angeles, I and a car driver were taking the same photo (of the mural) at the same time. The manner in which the woman on the mural holds her hand seems to mimic or reflect the car driver holding his cellphone. The result is a frame-within-the frame construction which links both views (the driver in his car and the woman on the mural) that inspired my photo.
