Looking through the reserve of photos I have gathered for this confinement exercise I immediately picked up this one. For no particular reason and I still wonder what brain mechanism produces this immediacy. Anyway, it just came to my mind that when I look at a painting, I don’t need any explanation to observe and gather the informations contained and wanted by the painter, consciously or not. But when I look at a photograph, I do need to know where it was taken, when, why and how it happened. Does it mean that a photograph contains less information than a painting ? Or that the realism of the rendering commands a supplement of information ? Here I was in a small island in Hong Kong, waiting for the ferry to take me back to the main city. It was shot with a Leica and a 35mm lens, but I don’t remember the exposure. I could look it back on the EXIF, but who needs to know ?
