Oddness


If you think the picture looks odd, that’s because it really is. The photo is practically impossible. The building itself is made entirely of right angles. And since I’m standing to the left of it, there should be no true right angles in the image at all. Yet by rotating along all three axes of space, and by stretching or compressing, the scene can be adjusted into the “right” perspective.


Still, even without bending reality, it looks odd.

#Photography#BlackAndWhite#Squared

Square-format black-and-white photograph. The upper two-thirds of the frame is sky, darkening toward the top, with thin, wispy clouds sweeping diagonally. In the lower third, a brick building forms a horizontal band. From it rises a taller rectangular brick volume positioned right of center with a flat roof. Small vertical rods and a curved pipe sit along the top edge. A deep, rectangular opening appears on the right face of the tall volume near its base. On the lower roof, close to the tall wall, a small upright element is visible. In the sky to the left of the building, a small bright airplane is captured as a faint speck.
