It's Only a Matter of Time

David Yarrow:

"The idea for this photograph came to me as I was walking back to my hotel from a charity dinner in Chicago, which is s stunning location particularly at night. The city has the most visually intoxicating architecture that offers great opportunities for finding a full frame, as opposed to a brutally vertical perspective.


We took my audacious idea right to its conception in the middle of a cold Chicago night, closing down a whole street in the city centre and working from 11pm to 3am. The shoot required a huge amount of team work and resolve, and I'd like to thank everyone for their roles – especially the wolf and Chicago PD. (whose charitable foundation will rightly benefit from the proceeds of print sales).

I have paranoia of the mundane and like to push boundaries between creativity and insanity - maybe this picture exposes that trait. It is up to the viewer to determine my reason for the title; whether it's referring to the clock in the background, the onset of winter, or a more topical message. Either way, it is surely now 'just a matter of time'".
