Struck by a Car

Scott Walker February 28, 2016

I love the way street photography feels, the action you attempt to capture as it unfolds. I love the way you have to move in close when you are shooting with a fixed lens (X100s). I believe that street photography should be personal.

This woman, who could barely stand, walked into the path of the red car you see behind her. She was struck by the car and laid lifeless in the street for a few minutes before deciding she wanted to get up. Every time her husband tried to talk to the officer she looked at him and said, "Shut Up!"

Onlookers stared in disbelief that she was able to stand after the car verses pedestrian incident. Others were watching because her level of alleged intoxication was incomparable to others walking the streets.

“That's the problem with drinking, I thought, as I poured myself a drink. If something bad happens you drink in an attempt to forget; if something good happens you drink in order to celebrate; and if nothing happens you drink to make something happen.” ― Charles Bukowski
