_Willis Building, City of London - Architect Sir Norman Foster_ www.juliaannagospodarou.com
We are what we create.
I have no doubt about it. We might be searching for a way of expression for long years and try a lot of things till we find it, we may be struggling with prejudice and limitations, with doubt and with being misunderstood, we may have to ignore common sense and go against the flow, we may have to figure out new ways of escaping what we call reason, what we call reality (what is reality anyway?) but in the end, what we will settle for can only be that very thing that expresses what we are completely, that helps us feel accomplished and free, that helps a restless soul find peace and allow us to stop and take a breath. If you look at this image you will see very much of what I am. I won't explain it, I don't want to limit your imagination. :) I will say just one thing: whatever this journey may take, do it! It's much better to burn out searching than never know...
OK, now that we said what was important, here's a few words about this image. First, it's been two and a half months since my last architectural image, which may seem a lot but it actually isn't for me, as I've done a lot of searching, discovered a lot of things, even worked on a handful of images that are to come soon. I've done some thinking, I've done some experimenting and the results will show in the months to come. I've even tried to step away from architectural photography to see how it is, but despite the fact that I love all kinds of photography, I think my call is architectural photography. There's nothing I love more than working with shapes and light, nothing I like more than abstracting a volume till it shows a part that would hardly show to the naked eye. I finally understood what I'm trying to do in photography and that is exactly what I'm doing in architecture too. I am designing my photographs to suit my vision. I am deconstructing the volumes I see and recomposing them using light and shadow, I am in essence using the existing subject, I'm using reality as a base on which I build my own dreams. Photography, architectural photography is the tool my imagination needs to stay alive and to express itself. It would be interesting I think to show you the RAW file of this image. I'm sure you wouldn't recognize much of what you see here in that image. But hey, you will tell me, that's manipulation! Well, yes, you're perfectly right, I will answer you! But who said I want to do traditional photography anyway? This may not even be photography, as a matter of fact. This may be something else. This IS something else! As I was calling it a while ago while discussing with a friend, this is “(en)visionography”. More on this concept coming soon...
And at last a few words about the image and the processing side of it... But, since this is getting long, let's better move over to my site if you want to read more about processing and also to read my answer to a question I'm getting quite often lately, a question about my skies... blog.juliaannagospodarou.com/ode-to-black-iii-extreme-bla...

PS:
If you are in London April 26 to May 12 go have a look at the SWPA 2013 - Sony World Photography Awards Winners Exhibition. My series Like A Harp's Strings will be exhibited as Shortlisted Finalist in Architecture Professionals category. And cross your fingers for me on April 25, when the prizes will be announced. Maybe... :)

Reflection of the San Francisco Bay Bridge during a quiet Friday afternoon in a glass office building in the SOMA district with internal glass walls. (Not a composite image.)
Wenigstens ein paar Sonnenstrahlen konnte ich erhaschen, bevor die Sonne unterging. Der Wetterbericht für die nächsten Tage fällt nicht so schön aus. Aber ich bin wieder angeschlossen an das weltweite Netz und werde jetzt nachholen, was ich die letzten Tage versäumt habe :-)

مِن آإسوآإ مآإ يمكن آإن آإقآإبل في حيآإتي ..
مَن يدّعي آإلكمآإل ..
ـآو يدّعي ـآلمثآإلية ... يرى ـآإ فيه آإلنآإس آإنه مثآإل للآإخلآإق
بينمآإ في آإرض آإلحقيقة قد نزع قنآإع آإلمثآإلية
وتقّلد آإنيآإب آإلذئآإب وبدآإ في تهميش ـآلآإخلآإق...
ـآلحيآإة آإجمل مكآإن يمكن آإن تتعلم فيه فن آإلتعآإمل مع آإلآإخرين..
عشْ حيآإتكَ بمرونه ... ودعِ آإلعَظَمة جآإنبآإ ...
فهي تقلل من قيمتك وتجعلك بآإلنسبة للبشر لآإ ششئ ..
وآإصرخ وآإردد
الكمال لله

Looking north over Royston at dusk from Therfield Heath.
The Johnson Matthey plant dominates the skyline. The lit up building on the left is Hamleys warehouse. The lights in the distance on the right are from the construction cranes at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, about 12 miles away.
Thanks everybody for the views and faves, I never thought a view over Royston industrial estate would go on Explore ! :)
Feelings by heart.

Niagara River -
This is a small portion the Niagara River just before it cascades over the American Falls. There is unbelievable power in every drop. Walking alongside the river one experiences constant excitement as the water crashes like ocean surf. The closer to the falls, the more energetic is the turbulence. The color of this Niagara water is amazing blue-green hue both on the river above and below the falls.

Slicing up post-halloween pumpkins has been an ongoing tradition for the past 5 years.
This is the first year where I've been equipped enough to make something really cool out of it!
Unfortunately, (or fortunately), I haven't been able to figure out which of these three is the best and would invite you to leave a fave or comment to let me know which one you prefer!
I think each has their own strengths and weaknesses XD
I highly recommend you check out the SETUP SHOT
