Bus Shelter (H) February 18, 1996, Spadina and Sullivan, Toronto, Ontario As soon as I saw this subject, I knew I had to catch something of it. My first thought was to make the exposure while the people were still inside the shelter, hoping to contrast the elegant clean faces of the poster with those of the people of the "real world" inside. 8x10 camerawork being what it is n slow, and the sound of the arriving bus made an instant change of plans necessary: something that is a cinch with a 35. I could have moved in closer but with this early image in the series, INTERSECTION, I wanted context n strong compositions, yes, but things in their proper setting.
