Barcelona Peaks



Today, I’m writing on proximity. More specifically, on the ability to feel distance from a non-3D object. This lovely Barcelona scene was taken from the inside of a church steeple approximately 50 feet higher than the buildings below. Like a row of doll houses they nicely fit within the 10 inch opening that towers over them. 
Each of us, rapidly buzz through daily grinds on a roving axis consuming checkpoint to checkpoint as the greater scenery slowly changes with earthly rotation. Proximity is all about movement and appreciation. We appreciate what we are close to and feel separations gliding onto the next destination.  As a photographer, reflecting angle and felt distance into a non-3D object is to show that time has passed and significant movement has occurred. A still photo is an invitation to the masses for a corporate acknowledgement of one’s journey and what it represents.

I'm looking for critics! What do you think of the Chelfoto Blog so far?
