Well, I like looking at the sky, the clouds, power lines, lamp posts, etc.....
I think my interest in taking photos of whats above me started when I was thumbing through a book by Nobuyoshi Araki, a book of photos of power lines, if I remember correctly. He's a photographer that often leaves me a little uncomfortable, as if I shouldn't really be interested in his images. After all, he's known to be a fetish photographer of sorts, who's documented the underground "sex scene" in Japan, and much more. I once saw an exhibit of his in Tokyo where he portrayed middle aged house wives juxtaposed with images of decaying urban objects such as old pipes. It was powerful, yet uncomfortable to view. In some way, the images seemed cruel to the subjects. Anyways, these are a couple of my photos. I kind of liked the bad scan with scratches and dust so I thought I'd share it. It kind of has a "creepy" twilight zonish feel to it.
