Rineke Dijkstra leans in over her soft-boiled egg on toast at an Upper West Side diner and gestures toward a plump, middle-aged customer hunched over the counter. “I can stare at people,” she confesses. “That man over there, the way he’s sitting, the way he moves….” Read it all on ELLE.com

Thanks to all of you who submitted photos for our Visitor PIC of the Week social series! There were a lot of terrific shots, so we’re planning to share a few more of ‘em here over the course of the week. However, since there can only be one true PIC of the week, we’re thrilled to feature this picture by jalonelumerti tomorrow on Facebook and Twitter. We love the way the photograph plays with perspective and reflection to create spatial tension, and we love how the figures become abstracted by the uncommon angle. Congrats on the terrific photo, jalonelumerti! And as as always: keep using the #sfmoma tag on your photographs of/at the museum so that we can see + share ‘em!
