Urban Contrast

As a photographer and artist I find myself continually searching for subtle and dramatic contrast that catches the eye and tells a story.  This is a shot in a series of images that I am working on with Icelantic that had been taken in South America.  Patience was key.  It took a long time in subway system of Santiago before people finally stopped staring at us, wondering what these gringos in ski gear were up to, and went back to their daily commute.  Luckily Derek was a good sport about it because it must have been about 80 to 90 fahrenheit, not to mention the humidity, and he was decked out in full sub-zero winter gear... ski boots and all.
