Kind of a comic book/Heavy Metal/Tron vibe, but I'm diggin' it. See more here.

Michael Wolf - Architecture of Density

I remember stumbling upon these pictures a while back, but have since realized that they've left a large impression on me. I find myself in certain situations, (perhaps breezy outdoor adventures, or wide open buildings,) and my mind drifts back to these cramped quarters that people experience everyday of their lives. These blow my mind; they truly honestly make me appreciate the fact that I can drive half an hour in almost any direction and encounter openness, fresh air, the absence of laundry and people and steel:










Taken from the Press Release on this series from Michael Wolf's site:

"One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong
has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of its citizens live in flats in high-rise buildings. In Architecture of Density, Wolf investigates these vibrant city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the buildings' facades.

Some of the structures in the series are photographed without reference to the context of sky or ground, and many buildings are seen in a state of repair or construction: their walls covered with a grid of scaffolding or the soft colored curtains that protect the streets below from falling debris. From a distance, such elements become a part of the photograph's intricate design.

Upon closer inspection of each photograph, the anonymous public face of the city is full of rewarding detail- suddenly public space is private space, and large swatches of color give way to smaller pieces of people's lives. The trappings of the people are still visible here: their days inform the detail of these buildings. Bits of laundry and hanging plants pepper the tiny rectangles of windows- the only irregularities in this orderly design."

So--considering my fear that only one or two of these pictures was going to be developed, I was surprised to find that 23/24 were printable! Granted, a few were overexposed, (mostly towards the beginning,) but I was pretty impressed with the turnout. Now that I have a general idea of how to shoot with the thing, I'm going to get more experimental. Woohoo!

Eric Ogden

It was so hard to pick favorites from Eric Ogden's website. His use of light and shadow are spectacular, reminiscent of Gregory Crewdson. I admire his ability to take the most ordinary objects/situations and make them appear eerie. The blank expressions, the rich atmospheres; looking at his work is like watching a silent film.
