For me, the lines, little squares of light, and crossings in the first three photos has in the best way spoken of the paramount qualities that contemporary cities as modern inventions embody: mobility, order, and speed.
The subjects of the photos are all impromptus, i.e., the woman gazing the shop window in Paris, the train passing London’s Waterloo station, and the composition of horizontal wires, vertical energy towers, and the cars moving into the lens.
Interestingly, when positioning these three photos together with the fourth one, the sense of ‘impromptu’ is reinforced – the cameraman reminds the viewer that, the act of ‘taking a photograph’ itself is an impromptu as well since the moment of clicking the shutter can never be predicted.
