you're right. this is what fascinates me with industrial building: they are built by humans but look like dominating them and having their own autonomy. Scary!
...one more thing about the composition... I like the doors by the large vertical cylinders. They contribute to the alienation by reminding us of people entering, their slight stature dwarfed by the factory....
thanks for this. i like your idea of contradiction. in fact in my series of industrial pics i was hesitating and some of them i also prefer the faded colors of dramatic color contrast..
Thank you very much. Once I turned the corner, the light caught me too. Funny story is that the opera house was burned in a fire twice. The light coming from La Fenice looks like there is a fire burning inside. Coincidence or poetic? Either way was happy to be there.
Jacques, I feel that way about your wintry landscapes but for some reason prefer this industrial image in color. The soft, subtle color is a contradiction. Plus it does have a historical timeless quality to it. Maybe I'm just mourning the death of Kodachrome yesterday....
Love the image. The street life of India has no frills. Even luxuries like a shave come with hard metal chairs. Everything is a little off in the picture from the barber's jacket, which is a few sizes too big to the unpadded headrest and bath towel around his neck.
The picture captures everything perfectly and it really nice how I can feel the warmth of the sun on the barbers face. Bravo!
