| Crosswalk Sign, Cincinnati, Ohio © Doug Hickok For some reason, I see this walking man just about everywhere I look. In big cities. In small towns. In the mountains. In the desert. He seems to be a ubiquitous man. He favors walking on this diamond shaped yellow sign whenever he appears, and is always frozen in mid stride, like a mime unable to move. In this instance he is crossing high above a street in downtown Cincinnati. Perhaps you have seen him too, in some form or another, wherever you live. (This image was made a few years ago on Velvia 100 RVP 35mm color slide film, pushed one stop for increased color saturation, with a Nikon F3HP camera body, and a Nikkor 105mm f2.5 lens, while wearing a pair of old white sneakers, laced with red shoe strings, tied in big floppy bows.) |
