I love walls, and these have tons of personality. They're very much here, but the spray-painted information makes me wonder if they're slated for demolition. Maybe I'd need specialized knowledge to decipher it, and so I'm already caught in uncertainty. What are those strange openings? Is the green algae or something? It's just this side of ominous, and the aforementioned uncertainty provides the energy that uplifts this image.
I suppose some would think pictures like this a bit trivial; just a gimmick and not 'serious' photography. I mean, you just walked along, saw it, stood in the obvious place, and took a shot. Surely anyone can do that? But photography is exactly that; being there, recognising what you see, and then using a camera. Most camera owners start with the third of those, and then try to incidentally add the other two. But that's ass-backwards. And the result is far too many very skilled photographs of nothing.
So I like this because it's about why we take photographs; to assay our imagination, and to stick out our tongues at the world.
I smash a yellow thumb across your bows, and I thank you and all who sail with you.
OK, this is my favorite. What a great tribute to Ubique and at the same time a work of art. I love the colors, the graphics and the way you have processed it. I would frame this an hang it on a wall. Really fabulous. I wish it would make the top three but I am afraid it is too subtle, understated and wonderful for that.
I like how prominent the vertical texture is. I can't look at it without my eye being drawn downwards. The limited colour palette is very effective too.
Great photo. Very well seen. Quirky, fun, pareidolia-ish, and a great capture of textures, lines and gradients that wash out. Title couldn't be better. I'd hang it on my wall and I bet Ubique'll love it.
