X Marks the Spot

Big images are back! I’m very excited about this latest tweak to the photoblog portion of my blog. I like the 2 column sidebar layout for my normal blog posts, but for my fine art work, I really wanted to have bigger images. It took a little fancy PHP “if this {”  and “else {”  of the template, but it worked. Now I just have to go back through 400 some odd posts and replace the small images for large ones. Oh joy.

About this photograph: I’ve only shot aerials once, but it was a lot of fun. I can see why photographers like Cameron Davidson specialize in it. It’s incredible way to see our world and the patterns that emerge naturally or man made. Since I didn’t have access to a helicopter in Paris, I had to settle for the Eiffel Tower. I think we’re pretty close to the top looking down on the Champs de Mars. I like how the road and the park form an X.

Hey, if you like this shot, head over to my archive and buy a high quality fine art print. It’ll look great on your wall. All my fine art prints are now hand printed in Portland, Oregon on high quality Hahnemühle paper.
