of rooftops, lines and shadows by summerfield

of rooftops, lines and shadows

paul strand is my inspiration these days. i was shooting the lake from the boss' office when i looked to my left and this caught my eye: the reflected light from our building on the shadowed rooftop of the brookfield place building. it reminded me of a couple of paul strand's photographs of rooftops and pillars.

so that averted another kajama tall ship photo although my shots of that tall ship today was rather incredibly "nice", if i may say so myself. you will have to take my word for it because those shots may never get posted on here.

@kali66 - no, not double exposure, just one shot, my friend. i'll explain below. thank you.

@Weezilou - thank you, my lady.

@kwind - thank you, kim.

@nicolecampbell - thank you, nicole.

@taffy thank you, miss taffy.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - thanks, lady. i've explained it below so it's easier for you to take in the pov.

@photohoot - smorgasbord? now i'm hungry! thanks, kid.

@clearday - thank you.

@grammyn - thank you, girlfriend, but it's just one shot, not a layered or double exposure.

@henrir - thank you, henri.

now, as i said, it is just one shot. when i'm looking at the lake from the boss's office, to my right would be the lake where i shot the tall ship from a week ago. to my left, the view is this https://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2016-11-01. if i look below, the view is the rooftop photo above. the building on the right of the 2016 photo is one of the twin towers of brookfield place. the bottom portion of that building is the upper left of the rooftop photo. the shadows from the other brookfield building and the reflections from the angular bay windows of our office building really do mess up the viewer's point of view. thanks, folks.

This is an awesome shot, so creative and unsettling! As a friend of mine says, aces, Vikki, aces!
September 2nd, 2017  
Did you have to lean very far out of the window??!!
September 2nd, 2017  
Thanks, Vikki! Now I see it!
September 2nd, 2017  
@summerfield I knew it was only one shot but was impressed with how it managed to look like more than one! Mad skills!
September 2nd, 2017  
@grammyn - well i have skills and i'm half mad. well, i was mad until last year now i'm wiser, and less madder. :-D
