This End Up

By

Have you ever seen a photo that was difficult to decipher? A picture that questioned your mind’s eye and turned logic on its ear? An image full of mystery and intrigue that begged the question, what the heck is that?

The shot above was taken from street level, lens pointing straight up as I leaned against the wall of a hotel in San Francisco. The architecture is what drew me in; ornate and opulent in its detail and curves. The angle felt dizzy enough but the window’s shape and reflection was the visual component that added that little extra huh? to the image.

Have you captured something that made you question what was really happening? Something that was both compelling and confusing? Disorient us today.

  2. I love this picture, I was a student of Architecture for a couple of years and immediately understood the angle and purpose of the picture… it really speaks to me. I’ve seen a lot of pictures that don’t know such language as they try to inspire the rest of us with their off the wall angles… an upside down picture is always upside down.
