Actually, this was captured this week… but something about him made me think of a bygone era.
I also could have called this Worker 11, as it follows my previous 10 Worker images.
In the past, I’ve sort of criticized the 50mm Summilux ASPH as being “too perfect” of a lens, but I love how it has rendered him, and this moment.

This was taken just prior to the sunset, as the light cast a warm glow.
All the previously washed out nuances of colour and texture in the environment seemingly emerge from nowhere and take on a golden hue — this is what happens at the so-called “golden hour“.

As captured on film.
I can try and process my digital files to approximate this look, but — for me — the essence of who we are is better conveyed with the older medium.

It was important to me for some reason.
So I started shooting film again.

I look at these images now, and follow the path of light:
originating from the late afternoon sun,
filtering through the window,
touching her face before reflecting off,
traversing the distance between us,
bending in the glass elements of a lens,
and finally etching her image onto an organic emulsion.

The film, like the viewer, is forever altered.
And it all happens in a fraction of a second — just like growing up.
