Portraits at traffic lights, portraits of people waiting in their cars at traffic lights. First in New York, then in Zurich and Paris, I drove in my the car from traffic light to traffic light. In the brief span of seconds while stopped at a red light, I took pictures of the drivers in cars next to mine. I did not wait for anything particular to happen. Rather, I was focussed on the looks and expressions of the drivers as they waited, often absent, focussed on something outside the frame.
