Front Row Seats

Had some time to take a few shots today before a shoot a the national stadium here in Kingston.  I decided to try my hand at some abstracts using the chairs,  though i'd rather call them 'extracts' just as Ansel Adams refered to his "abstract" work.

Ansel Adams prefered the term "Extract" as opposed to "Abstract".   Adams explained his choice of words, saying "I prefer the term extract over abstract, since I cannot change the optical realities but only manage them."

"Front Row Seats"

"The Grand Stand"

"8 to 9"

The Stadium

 

With all this talk of cantilevers being old, worn down, potentially dangerous they pulled it off anyway.  No big fiasco, no parts of the superstructure falling and crushing fans or foreign talent scouts.   So that said it was well wicked... or so i heard.  From where I was  it was clear to see the police presence, both inside and out.  All

of the cycle track was littered with them (see below).

The crowd was massive although I noticed there were quite a few seats free in the grandstand on saturday night.  Enjoy the rest of the pics.
