While I don't like being limited on what sorts of lens or aperture tweaks I can make, there is something liberating about taking these crappy phone photos, as they let me see the spaces I take for granted in a different light. Every space can be constructed to present an interesting aspect of itself, and I was especially struck when I actually looked up at the ceiling in the library's media center. The posts, lights, and ceiling tiles all contain individual rhythms and all up to an interesting collage of straight edges that sort of remind me of Tati's
Playtime, the film I'm told inspired the modern cubicle. Kind of funny that a famously inventive director would become responsible for the ultimate symbol of workplace drudgery.
I like the color that that blue pillar gives us. It really pops out and the TV is really interesting as well.
ReplyDeleteEven though the phone camera is not the most amazing quality, it doesn't mean it is incapable of telling stories and creating interest. I love the perspective line that are created with the ceiling and the depth created by the pillars.
ReplyDeleteThis picture communicates with me in a wild way... The shadows and angles of this shot really make it seem like the pillars, desks, and other objects in the office are giving off a city-look! It's almost as if this is a city within an office, suggesting the popular commentary of the corporate world taking over mankind. We went from the forests, to urban jungles, and now... office skylines? We are trapping ourselves more and more from the total beauty that life offers us.
