Umbrella Woman in Oakland
Thursday night. Just finished shooting a poet for her chapbook photo at Frick Fine Arts. Started to rain. Stabilize camera on a sycamore tree. Experiment with wet pavement/light reflections. Cable remote so no camera shake. Cathedral of Learning behind. Enter stage left- Woman in a raspberry sherbet coat, a huge black umbrella strolls into line of vision.
As if casting sent her, she entered the scene on cue.

with some of the lights on in the cathedral and the bareness of the tree, it almost looks like its haunted!
