Architecture Cubed

This is a collection of architecture photos which are stark and lifeless…which is pretty much what architecture communicates  in the cityscape.  These photos were taken in Geelong and Melbourne, (Victoria, Australia) and represent the bland and alienating nature of modern architecture in the urban landscape…when its done on the cheap!!!.

Architecture as art

Here are a few artistic interpretations of architecture and shapes against the sky or transport.  Previous posts have been about the transience of travel, while  these images are more about the solidity of ground and being anchored to place.  They also offer another dimension with regard to the juxtaposition of shapes in the urban environment.

Skylight

Here are some photos I shot in France – I wanted to show the shapes that were grounded against those that implied distance. For me lights illuminate things and show the way.

Colours of the Mediterranean

These photos were shot off the coast of France (Antibes)  having expected to see an azure-blue sea I captured a grey foggy mist – and these are colour photos –  which fits perfectly with my idea that travel is about distance, however loneliness at times can be part of it too.

I think these photos convey this feeling.

This is an attempt to interweave two types of travel and present the different sense of space within each mode of transport.

Landing lights: an aviation slideshow

This is a slideshow which offers an abstract perspective on  ’just leaving’ or ‘just arriving,’ rather than the portrayal of distance which I usually try to convey.

Sea-nario: an exploration of travel and distance…

Here are a group of shots that I hope convey distance, ocean-going travel and ‘sense of place’, all of which I love to shoot.

Please cast a critical eye over these… and enjoy…

Looking up: a photographic slide show

Considering that the vast majority of what I take photos of consist of   ‘looking up’  here is my latest visual rendezvous of having my head in the clouds.
