Description my corner of the sky
is obscured
but i don't mind
there is no horizon
but the buildings keep
on rising and rising
this is more
than just a place
to raise a family
it's a place to raise the funds
to obscure the horizon
in other corners too
look out for your corner
while you still can

this one stops me . usually abstract photos don't need much comments , i feel .
your words always add much meaning to them . but this one , even without the words , means so much .i feel moved by it... i relate in every way .

You have a thing for abstract-ish photos huh? XD They're really nice. This photo really caught my eye though. The contrast of the edge of the building and the sky's really brilliant. Awesome shot. ^___^

davespertine In reply to analogphoto [2009-07-15 11:57:16 +0000 UTC]

i did a few years ago
but i had a different head on then
more functional than aesthetic

sounds apropriate in this building (although i have no idea about discrete logic. dl... funny). do you have interior shots as well?

davespertine In reply to analogphoto [2009-07-17 11:31:55 +0000 UTC]

no i don't, and at the time, i took very little notice of the building
i guess that in order to see, we need to practice looking

pity. i do enjoy the shaped spaces in DL's like the shapes of the buildings. the experience of the spaces are even stronger since you are 'inside'.
practice looking .. indeed. i just started to take photographs again after some years and thats what i mentioned as well - the view changes if you frame and focus 'actively'.

davespertine In reply to analogphoto [2009-07-18 10:52:54 +0000 UTC]

true, but i don't like the elitism of the inside
outside is for everyone to see
inside, just for the special ones

i have decided to have no interest in that which isn't open to all

that's why i like DL's cultural, public buildings most isn't the LMU building semi-public at least? and it's not the arch.'s fault when the user / owner locks up the buildings.

security has changed drastically recently, and was already doing so before 9/11 and 7/7... it can be difficult taking photos of the outside of many buildings in london

no it's not the architect's fault... great design is expensive
ugliness comes cheap
