Living in an urban environment and at the same time having an urge to
photograph, I have discovered that it´s important to look up. You know,
in the daily humdrum most of us will have a tendency not to see what is
above eye level around us. On a grey, rainy morning with buses, cars
and umbrella-people everywhere, it´s so easy, almost inevitable, to
forget about the little wonders around us.
So I look up - and in
the city I see mostly architecture. And I realise that there´s a gift
there for everyone to have and behold for free. There are people around
who have devoted themselves to give (there´s probably also money
involved
)every individual in the crowd passing by an experience.
And
what a variety of things to see. From centuries old architectural
styles with gargoyles and fine details on the delicately embellished
buildings in the inner city - to the modern glass-and-steel erections
on the outskirts of town.
Like in the above case with an interesting combination of steel, glass
and wood. I have fallen in love with the juxtapositional lines and
textures in this building, of which I show only a tiny fragment.
I´d
like to thank the anonymous guy who sat at his desk ten years ago and
anticipated me passing by this day on my way to work. He actually made
the photo - I just applied the frame.
