Now THIS is what I call a picture, much better than that garage before.
Looks like a wide shot from the movie Toys. Yes, I admit to seeing Toys. Goddamn Robin Williams.
Where are the Teletubbies?
ACID GRASS PARK!
Is this a scan of a slide, or what?
That is an amazing photo. LOVE IT.
Fnarf, that's Gasworks. Teletubby Hill is in Cal Anderson.
And @2, Toys is one of my favorite movies.
Greg, it's a negative reversed in Photoshop to show a positive image. The reason it's square is because it's a medium format negative, 120 format shot at 6cm x 6cm, on Kodak Portra 160 VC (vivid color) film. It was shot with a twin-lens reflex, like a Rolleiflex or Yashicamat, but his Flickr page doesn't say which.
Oh, and NaFun, there absolutely are Teletubbies at Gasworks too.
No, we tied up the Teletubbies and stuffed them in the Fremont Rocket ...
all of brian's work is fantastic. hooray!
I love this guy. I want to show him here at Vermillion.
This is not "more" of a picture than the garage from yesterday, they're just entirely different. I happened to really like the garage picture, it treated depth in an aesthetically pleasing way and I liked the industrial aspect.
This image is striking, but how is the subject matter "better" than a garage? It's a tree, you don't get much more mundane than that.
It's not about yesterday's subject matter but about composition. This one, to me, is interesting. Yesterday's (and I love industrial landscape as much as anyone) was flat. Taken from some other angle, with more contrasting elements, it might have been more provocative. IMO.
Well, unlike the garage pic, this has symbolic elements in it.
For example, look at the gas exchange towers on the bottom left.
The gasworks are not symbolic.
