About this photograph :
Cricket
« I took the photo at the end of the summer. Coming back to London I was driving on a country road when the sight of this cricket match enveloped in the evening light made me stop myself. In spite of the small number of spectators, that which I saw seemed to become the singular echo of that English summer. I took about ten shots, all variations the choreographic games, of characters and more particularly this one here. »
