Recall this moment,
Shot on a week-end visit to Dubai 😎
turned a corner, and there was this instant-composition
so only having an instant too! …
metered - exposed for the compositions "high-lights" …
Yielded a very arty-look to this documentary image !
This image actually documents
an 'altercation-in-progress' …
between the three gentleman,
outside the shop and the gentleman, inside the shop ! ...
The trio-outside had taken exception to ...
the ‘cartoonish-type-charcter’ door-sticker,
displayed with the word “PUSH”
Stating that they found it highly-offensive,
were not leaving the shop, until their demanded
“apology from the store owner and
the immediate removal of the said,
offensive-door-sticker”
were met and had taken place,
was being repeatedly ranted, by the trio,
at considerable-volume!
Of course, in the next-very-instant ...
Dubai-police officers attended ...
in order to "calm this situation, to sort this out"!!
Instinctually ...
time to instantly place camera ‘out-of-sight’ ...
and time to ‘just-vanish-from-the-location’!
Didnt wish to get involved any ...
"miss-understandings"
So interesting sometimes, to consider …
So what’s the story with this image then 😎
