Movement, Trams, Amsterdam

Reflections, time, and speed are ideas that I am interested in that are elements in this photograph. I saw the idea behind this image on my first day in the Netherlands last autumn. I decided to attempt to capture this photograph the next time I saw it. A few days later, I spent time waiting, watching, and shooting before events fell into place in order to obtain this result. It is a picture of a young woman standing in front of a tram. The tram passes by and she waits. Perhaps the image would be better technically if someone had posed standing absolutely still, but this is a slice of busy life in a city. This is life as it happens.
