Ruth Orkin, the girl on a bicycle sent on June 16, 2023 (14:03) by Viola81. 22 comments, 808 views.

f/2.0, ISO 25,

Qualche settimana fa ho visitato la mostra di Ruth Orkin a Torino. "Quando a metà degli anni trenta è a Hollywood giovanissima messenger girl che corre qua e là negli Studios della Metro Goldwin Meyer, raccoglie in un libretto rilegato a mano gli «Autographs of Movie Stars»: Dolores Del Rio, Clark Gable, Shirley Temple-Riccioli d'oro (che firma con scrittura tremolante e a stampatello da seienne quale era) ma ci mette pure tutti i titoli dei film che vede e, per ciascuno, il suo ranking (Spencer Tracey, Capitani coraggiosi, straordinario, quattro stelle). La stessa intraprendenza ha quando, facendosi regalare dai genitori una bicicletta, a diciassette anni comunica (non chiede, comunica) di partire per New York dove nel 1939 si sta aprendo, nel Queens a Flushing Meadows, l'evento principe, la World's Fair, che accoglieva i visitatori col motto «Dawn of a new day». Da sola, macina duemila miglia in bicicletta, coast to coast, dormendo negli ostelli di San Francisco, Washington D.C., Chicago, Philadelphia e, evidentemente, fotografa tutto (preferibilmente includendo l'amata bici)" Fonte:https://ilmanifesto.it/ruth-orkin-la-ragazza-in-bicicletta

I love it!
It will also be because this photograph comes after the series of mannequins that faced the world of people, but here it almost seems that the opposite happens, with the real subject becoming a reproduction of the artistic object.
Also spot-on the panoramic format, excellent shot the position of the girl "in" bicycle! :-)
Hello Viola

Thank you very much, Michele! :-)
I was approaching the entrance when I heard the sound of the bicycle behind me! Fortunately, I was able to get my phone in time and shoot. A few seconds later and that girl would disappear at my vision! It wouldn't have been the same... From here you can't see it, but behind the entrance, there is a small alley that leads to another square, and she was headed there.
I'm glad I was able to take back both her and the complete writing!

You are attentive and always propose unique connections and reflections!
Thanks again!
Have a nice day! Hello! :-)

Thanks Diodato! :-)
Thanks Andrea! What did you think?
I liked it, even if the previous exhibition on Vivian Maier had intrigued me more, so much so that I deepened my research on a book dedicated to her.
Let me know, bye! :-)

Thanks for your reply, Andrea! :-)
Personally, I find Maier to be more introspective. Maybe that's what fascinated me.
Thanks to you too, Luca! :-)
Have a nice evening! Hello! :-)

"Orca" that shot! It also contains a heartfelt tribute seasoned with admiration and, perhaps, even a pinch of romantic nostalgia.
Have a nice weekend
