Passagiers in een Checker Aerocar tijdens de British International Motor Show te Londen before 1965

This photograph of passengers in a Checker Aerocar was taken by the Keystone Press Agency at the British International Motor Show in London. It's all about the process of looking, of trying to figure out what's going on, that really grabs me. The photo’s a bit flat, you know? Not a lot of contrast. The surface is smooth, like a well-worn stone. But look at the details. The way the light catches the chrome, the crisp lines of the car against the blurry background. It’s like a drawing, almost, with the darks and lights defining the shapes. I keep coming back to the passengers themselves. Each one is like a little study in character. The man in the front, all business in his suit. The woman in the middle, lost in thought. And the girl in the back, staring right at us with that curious expression. It's like, who are these people? Where are they going? And what does it all mean? You could say this is about the state of British society at the time, about class and mobility. Or maybe it’s just a snapshot of a moment, a group of people caught in the act of being. It reminds me of some of Eggleston's early black and white work, capturing everyday life with a similar sense of curiosity and ambiguity. It's not about answers, it’s about questions.
