Today's photo is a little break from the Folsom Street Fair -- it's from my trip to New Orleans a month ago.
I went back and forth on this photo, and now, a month later, I'm sure I like it. I'm not alone in going back and forth on it either -- I pointed a good friend of mine to it, and he said, "The more I look at it, the more I like that man on the right, and HATE that woman on the left on the phone".
If I can't produce a thing of beauty, maybe at least I can show up with something that will enrage? ;)
At any rate, along with the contrast in color and the rhythm of the pedestrians here, it reminded me of one of my favorite facts about ancient Byzantium -- the city was split into political factions who manifested their disagreements by chariot races and eventually rioting.
Every time I see people wearing competing colors, I think of that.
