Between two lights
Tom stopped on a narrow side street in Manhattan as two light sources perfectly framed a fleeting moment. A single person entered the frame – briefly, silently, calmly. An urban instant poised between movement and stillness.
Date: 22. Jan 21
It was one of those cold New York evenings when the city feels restless yet never truly still. Tom was walking down a side street, far from the main avenues, when the interplay of two light sources made him pause. A streetlamp and an illuminated shop window cast stark contrasts on the asphalt. He positioned himself and waited. People walked by, but the composition never quite came together. Then a single person stepped into the narrow corridor of light, poised precisely between brightness and darkness. For a brief moment, everything clicked: space, movement, stillness. Tom pressed the shutter. Between Two Lights tells a story of urban isolation, of fleeting pauses in the city's flow, and of moments that only arise when one is willing to wait.
