NZ Visual Diary - entry 392

bar scene - Vulcan Lane

I enjoy photographic glimpses into bar rooms. You have to be a closet voyeur to engage in the art of street photography.

A compositional element of this image first attracted me. The central three figures form a profane version of the ‘passionate triangle’ as deployed within, among other eras, the Renaissance style of religious-themed painterly works.

The combination of a tightly defined space and splash of decorative artefacts also caught my eye.
