About Brad Evans

In
a recent visit to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Brad
Evans, 52, noticed an odd juxtaposition of light and angles and
took his best shot.
He thought the woman above him looked rather remarkable,
and so took a straight photograph with his Sony digital camera.
The impression is of a woman standing up, pressed against the
glass, but in reality it's a bug's eye view of the woman lying
across the catwalk that intersects the skylight.
Evans, a systems engineer from Woodside, was inspired about
four years ago by other street photographers, especially Daido
Moriyama
and others of his milieu.
