"Repetition, Love... Repetition"

Gritty, grainy, down-right dirty metro shot... yeah!

And although the powers-that-be might like us to think that the Paris metro is squeaky-clean and crystal white, it's not always the case.

Just who is that rucksacked rambler slipping so swiftly out of lens-shot, hotly pursued by varying thicknesses of lines blue, and... blue?


Key points

Repetition

Curiously, blue seems to be the only colour (apart from black and white) in this grimy image. And not entirely coincidentally, we have two versions of blue lines nicely complementing each other.

I've heard Metro aficionados saying that the stations on individual lines in Paris are colour-coded. Although it's sometimes difficult to believe, in this case it's quite obvious, and a useful feature for the photographer looking for one of the most powerful of all photographic techniques: repetition.
