New Topographics

I recently read Aristotle saying that change is important if an individual is to evolve and expand their consciousness. I would extrapolate that to our methods in photographing.

Not just in terms of an eclectic portfolio, but in an entire new way of seeing and creating images.

I have witnessed this in myoldpostcards new works as well as other Flickr friends.

 

 

I find myself enthralled by the New Topographic movement and their scenic beak cerebral aesthetics. Moving away from the celebration of the pure beauty of nature I admire their method of interjecting space for thought and feelings to appreciate the prettiness in the banal.

 

Here I was draw by that 'brick' horizon, then I saw the giant diamond design of the entire scene. What I did not see until I had it up on the computer screen were the different types of bricks used to build this building.
