This idea is not mine, although these stacks are. I got the idea from a site called the Rainbow Elephant. I think it is really fun to do, and easy. I will load up the instructions if anyone asks.
Patterns of Power is a series of photographs of contemporary art museum interiors. The images are tightly cropped, square close-ups of the angles, patterns and textures common in contemporary museum architecture. This series builds on a previous project - Museum Patterns - which exists online at museumpatterns.tumblr.com.
In a globalised world, museums distinguish themselves through increasingly novel and unlikely buildings, which are designed by star architects like Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry. Interestingly, many of the buildings’ common features blur the line between art and architecture: walls meet at odd angles, the dominant white surfaces are interrupted by a red feature wall or rail, and material textures are introduced in the form of polished concrete and weathered steel. Museum Patterns re-presents these features as two-dimensional prints. The cropping produces flattened and abstracted images that are at odds with the three-dimensionality of the original subject. The photographs in this series also highlight slight and almost imperceptible flaws in the white-walled galleries, with each image revealing a small imperfection: a watermark on the ceiling, a messy paint job, a scuffed shoe mark, or an accidental lump in the wall.
Each of these flaws represents a tear in the façade of power. The white walls that typify contemporary art museums are an attempt to neutralise the space, both physically and ideologically. The Modernist notion of aesthetic autonomy can be seen as a political strategy, rather than just a philosophy towards exhibition display. The museum is a predominantly physical space, so decisions such as a gallery’s layout or wall colour subtly communicate value and power. Patterns of Power draws attention to the physicality of the museum, and by pointing out subtle physical marks of human error, I am concurrently questioning its privileged role as a creator of knowledge and promoter of dominant cultural values.
The unusual habit of skylarks in song is well known - the males launch themselves into the air and hover whilst belting out a loud and complex song, sometimes for several minutes, before landing back in the rough grass they prefer. Because they are quite numerous at the right locations, and stay in one place, more or less, whilst flying, they are one of the more tempting bird-in-flight targets. But they are still by no means easy to photograph in this state. They fly high - tens of metres above the ground - and do drift around a little. Additionally, they are apt to fall back to earth without warning. Most of all, even the best camera and lens combinations are reluctant to track a small bird against the sky - you must hold the camera very steadily, keeping the autofocus point on the bird (not easy pointing nearly straight up!).
Using the extender gets closer shots, but at the expense of much slower and less reliable autofocus. All this means these shots, while the best I've managed so far, are not perfect by any means. I've normalised the backgrounds - the sky was this blue, but varied subtly between shots, and was distracting.
Incidentally, the song itself is one of the best sounds of the British spring, rightly celebrated by artists for centuries.

Any employee should have the right to throttle at least one client in his working life. Then a client who wants a rainbow, an ottoman pattern and a hittite artifact to be used in the same logo and changes mind when her absurd order is ready, would get what actually she deserve. The pattern above has to be made in a very short time analysing a half picture of an ottoman decoration detail, for someone who does not deserve even a line of it.
