To explain, I have this thing where I'll take a photo, just getting in the top of a building and leaving most of the frame filled with sky. It's a fascination with 'things over there' where buidings, trees, whatever, look so much better at a distance than they do close up. By framing the images this way, I'm trying to portray things without their normal close up context, taking away any reference points, thus displacing them and making you look at their form, rather than just being semi-aware of their presence.
I'm not sure if I explained that very well. How's this: I just think they look cool.

Up
I've finally managed to write the code for the gallery section (I uploaded the images weeks ago). The first gallery up is called 'Looking up'.
