In this print titled "The Riddle of the Sphinx 21st May 1954" we are transported back to a rainy day in London during the vibrant 1950s. The image captures a thought-provoking conversation between Bela Zola, an esteemed photographer for the Daily Mirror, and an intrigued tourist on the banks of the majestic River Thames. As dark clouds loom overhead and raindrops gently fall, Zola finds himself faced with a perplexing question from his curious companion. With his trusty camera in hand and armed with knowledge accumulated through years of experience, Zola ponders over what exposure settings would best capture the essence of this riverside scene. This photograph not only showcases Zola's dedication to his craft but also highlights the timeless allure of photography as an art form. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there are moments when one can pause to appreciate both nature's beauty and human curiosity.
