From the early 1980's...

Hi Tuna,
I find this shot very interesting as it has a lot of similar and different elements:
1. The right subject is more well-built;
2. The different shapes of the vests (a V with a sharp point and a V without a shape point) of the 2 subjects;
3. The widths of the 2 camera straps are different;
4. The different lightness of the two shorts;
5. The positions of the two cameras (on the left shoulder and the right shoulder).
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Yoyo, it's why I've always liked this image. A certain quirky, contrasting human symmetry throughout.

Not sure if you meant the ladies shorts in #4 which are different shades but let's not forget the men's similar shorts in black and white...

And I suppose if we knew the make of their cameras, one would be a Nikon and the other a Canon...

Hi Tuna,
I mean the girl on the right wears a pair of lighter colour shorts. The men's similar shorts echo well as you said. The photo reminds me of August Sander's works: http://www.metmuseum.org/special/August_Sander/1.L.htm

Yoyo, it is always flattering to have an image of mine likened to that of a Master's. Thank you.

I enjoy his work. As an aside, I collect old photobooks and last year I purchased (for a bargain price) a 1962 German 1st edition of some of his better work reprinted under the title "Deutschenspiegel".

Tuna,

Great shot. Yoyo summed up everything that makes this shot great, and as always, your black and white is superb! Great capture!
