Photography is a magical thing. Since it uses light to capture what’s actually in front of us, I think that images have the ability to make our brains see unique splices of life in ways we might not in our linear life. Today’s image by Rashid is another reminder of why I love photographs. This image is weird, but wonderfully intriguing. In the thumbnail version, the woman appears to be clinging to the postal truck for her life as it speeds down a busy New York City avenue. Once I clicked on the image, after I was relieved the woman wasn’t gripping the bumper, I was excited to see the product of a photographer applying camera techniques and his foresight to create an image—from an actual moment in time—that manipulates how the viewer sees it.
