“Proportions,” 2007, NJ vs. NY
I enjoy weird photographs that play with your eye and mind. This image, shot from a park in Hoboken, New Jersey, is one of those photographs. The awkwardly similar proportions of the Lamp to the Empire State building to the telephone pole to the tree distort the viewers [...]
