for the love of DC photography
I love this image. Not only did photographer Zach Kalman find an interesting scene he used the repetition of color and pattern to frame a more captivating picture. The red car, aqua car, red lights, aqua steps, and red car all keep my eyes bouncing around within the photograph.
While there’s quite a lot going on in this photo from Yonas Hassen, it’s subtle enough not to be distracting. Like stars in an urban night sky, the signage becomes more apparent the longer you gaze. The roll-up garage door’s uneven frame complements the the triangular shapes in the left of the shot, while the hospital-issue pale green walls provide a soothing backdrop, with the splash of gold accenting the scene from behind the cinder blocks.
