My family saw Herb Ritts' photography exhibit at the Getty & this is a work that I find very captivating. He often used the contrast of black & white against fit athletic bodies or famous individuals from Hollywood. This shot in particular is so full of lines & geometric symmetry my eyes could trace each part forever. The way this woman's back & leg are framed in an arid desert makes me think of a Picasso painting. To me, it speaks of time, independence & hope. What do you think?
That was a very enjoyable day with the loves of my life. DAD
