& held it fast.
The Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama.
to photograph subjects at their best advantage depends a lot upon the position of the light source. if you have the perfect subject, but the sun isn’t it in the right spot, at that moment in the sky, you can either wait for the earth to spin for a little while longer. or you can move the subject. But if the subject is bronze & stuck fast in solid concrete, well, then I have to move & sometimes, i discover it was to my advantage, as i found out today.

Really fascinating image Amy. Truly, the perspective and lighting work so well together.

I was very blessed that the earth stopped while I stood there. I walked around that piece looking for the best way to capture the power or desperation of the humans struggling to escape something. Their faces held fear, which was unnerving to me. I love the way it turn out-to inspire courage, rather then escaping a horror. Thank you, Patricia! ~amy

I am going to order it very big. It is so inspiring to me, because of the saying about personal goals, “reach for the stars, or sun) I’m so glad you like it & felt what I did! ~amy

Great shot and text. Though, I would advise against kids trying to reach for the sun quite this way…8^).

Yes, reading for the sun would certainly cause blindness, it was more of an inspirational idea behind the image. Thank you so much for reading it! ~amy
