There is much to be said for taking a detour. Two days ago, on a whim, I decided to walk down a different street – and I was rewarded with the sight of this beautiful fabric in the window of an Indian store.
I had to work my options on these shots, because there was a lot of reflection and sun-haze on the glass, from the early-morning sun in a flawless blue sky. Because of that, I had to opt for close compositions rather than getting the big picture of the entire window display.
The striking colours and the velvety look of the fabric made the job a lot easier. And of course, when I saw these strings of beads, I was drawn to photographing them.
Little things like that always string me along.
