Wash In The Rain

*

"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."
~ Andre Kertesz

Farnaaz from Iran, Iran

Great shot. I love the sheets of rain, and the man's face. He's just taking the rain. No attempts to avoid getting wet. One handed bicycling at that! Excellent in b/w.
