This is absolutely lovely. It pains me that my distance from blogging is now such that I have nothing particularly interesting to say about a photograph that is plainly loaded with thematic and formal intricacies (e.g. the way the reflected building and the reflecting building are at such — imagined — perpendicular angle to each other; the way the two colors are almost complementary; the clash of modern coolness and old earthiness; the wavy distortion set behind/within/upon a hyper-regular grid; etc.), despite the fact that I think that (a) the photograph is interesting, and (b) I’m a guy who often (sometimes?) has interesting things to say about interesting things, of which this is, as previously stated, one.
Ugh. I guess you’ll just have to settle for that “e.g.” as far as aesthetic insight is concerned. But suffice it to say: I love this photo.
