7 on 8th, 1978. Notice my shadow in the street. The two girly playing cards are in my right hand and my Nikon is in my left hand. Snap! It’s a straight shot. Make sure you get your light right. I painted the background of the cards with a rich yellow paint to enhance their graphic impact. The composition moves back into space in staggered stages. Cards, car, bus and buildings and in the upper right quadrant there is a slice of blue sky that leads to a deeper space . There is a sense of the loneliness of a modern city theme as we see a blurred image a man staring out of the bus window. This was not taken in Times Square but in the 1970s there were armies of lone men wandering the city streets in the shadows of scantily clothed femalesRobert Funk is a pioneer of Staged Photography, Miniature Photography and Thingie Photography works going back to 1972.
