I had a clear idea about these images. I saw and knew where I wanted to go, then everything went sideways. Suddenly, after the first two, I didn't know where going.
The worst part is that, when scrolling through my phone library and seeing them, I know there's something there, but it's been hard to extract it.
What is in there? I really don't know. I can't explain it, but I can see it.
The same but different
There's something about sunny bright days and that suspension red bridge on top of the River Clyde that makes that spot one of those places that I can shoot (I have) thousands of times.
It is one of those places that is always the same, yet it is always different. Every occasion we cross paths gets me differently, because it can. At times, I’m walking by near or far from the sides. Other moments passing quickly through the north or south entrance, and last Saturday on top and across… and in a day like this one, every colour pops.
Maybe that’s what’s in there and why I cannot take it out; it’s the essence of the place.
