Speaking of luck
Edward Suhadi comment 3 Comments

One more of my photographs comes to mind. Till this day it still blows my mind everytime I look at it, since they have the exact hue of yellow. This photo is not photoshopped at all. Taken in Interlaken Ost Train Station, Switzerland. I was waiting for my train to arrive.


First of all, I did not put the man there. And I don’t have a spare exact yellow shirt ready. So this is luck. And you need some if you’re into photography.

Just remembered this answer from Henry Cartier-Bresson, considered the father of photojournalism, when asked about what luck has got to do with his amazing photographs:

“Of course it’s all luck! It’s luck that matters. You have to be receptive, that’s all.”

  1. I presume this guy is a fashionista & stylish-old-man with long white beard and a yellow shirt…. so eye-catching
