Talk To The Hand

Talk To The Hand

What an amaz­ing city Philidelphia.  I was on vaca­tion there a cou­ple years ago and we were tak­ing a stroll off the beaten path down­town.  Our des­ti­na­tion was the Philidell­phia Museum of Art to see the Cezanne exhibit (which we ended up not doing…looooong wait times to get in).

On the way we tooks some not so tourest trav­elled side streets (I was look­ing for some non-tourist type of shots) when we came across this fan­tas­tic bit of street sculp­ture enti­tled “Free­dom” by famed Zenos Fru­dakis.  The fig­ure you see  here starts on one end of the wall totally engulfed.  The fol­low­ing fig­ure is lean­ing out at the waist.  This one was stretch­ing out as you see.  The final fig­ure was standin in the mid­dle of the sidewalk.

I shot this image with my Nikon D700 using a 24-70mm f2.8 set at 35mm, iso200, 1/40sec at f6.3.
