These front steps of St Paul's have a certain appeal - I've never quite been able to nail it, photographically: I'm not entirely sure you've succeeded either. For me, I think the issue is that I don't see a story here, a narrative; nor do I find a particular interest in the groups of people - it's just all so very ordinary. That, of course, has its own appeal in a way, as a kind of document; but it's a photograph that one could take any and every day if one so wished, with much the same results. It is, however, technically unimpeachable - exposure and control is good, and some grain brings something to it. For my taste it could have more contrast. |
