Milano Centrale 2007by ~multix

Photography / Transportation

Milan, Central Station.
I was travelling, but I had my Leica in my pocket (literally).

I did a small series before catching my own train and selected a couple.

This image is a snapshot, slightly blurred and shaken. The light was for a sort time excellent. I saw that guy. I had just a fraction of a second to get out my camera and shoot. I consider it a very good shot, it is both of classic (the location, the station look and of course the guy with the hat) as well as contemporary (the guy at the mobile phone, the modern details). I like this as a hommage to G. Berengo Gardin.

Camera: Leica M6
Lens: Leica Summicron 35mm/2 Asph.
Film: Ilford HP5 developed in Ornano Gradual ST20

Milano Centrale 2007 by ~multix Treamus writes "This photo is like something from the 30's. It's hard to believe it is a modern image. It has everything a train station, light and shadow, old man with a hat... It's also hanging on Chris weeks walls as far as I know." I agree, the play of light and shadow are just superb.
