Okay so yesterday i had some internet issues and couldn't access so today i will be posting two images to make up for it! This first image has been baffeling me, i like it, alot but i don't know why, as Barthes would say, i can't identify my punctum! I often fall prey to photos that i find "pretty", which i know is a terribly amature thing to say but sometimes i like an image just because..... I keep looking at this image and wondering what it is that attract me and i'm at a loss, its totally differerent from any type of photograph i have taken before, maybe that is why i like it, technically is a terrible photo but i like the obstruction, here you have a "pretty" ( there's that word again) sky scene but its surrounded by all these man made atrocities that for some reason make it afftractive to me!
I may be reaching around in the dark here but it makes me feel like subconciously i was trying to cover up the "pretty amatureness" of this image by abstructing it with ugly man made images! I kind of have a soft spot for beauty in our natural world and when i see it tainted by roads and buildings i feel kind of let down by the world for letting these "beauties" be swallowed up in our human obsession to build everywhere and to overtake everything.
I think i may just have answered my own question there! Any other views are welcome!
