Campus Cyclist

Published on September 27, 2020

Its 2:34 P.M. in Minneapolis, a sunny autumn day

Crossing campus between meetings, seeing photographically along the way

A multitude of towers, arches, and buildings, up to one hundred sixty eight years of age

Hundreds of undergraduates outdoors, socially engaged

Candid interplay of October shadows and intense midday light

Bicyclist passing, framed him just right

Verticality, sense of scale, geometry, and primary hues

I am pleased to share this candid street moment with you
