Mostly Angles – Austin, Texas
I was like a tourist in NYC, looking up and gawking at skyscrapers. Except, I was in Austin, Texas. The area around 2nd street has changed a lot. Camera in hand, pointed upward, I explored.
Only recently, these kinds of photos became possible in Austin. Only a few years ago, the buildings weren’t as tall and the spacing, not as dense. I found this angular overhang, rendered a deep black, which fit like a piece into the architectural puzzle.
Having a small camera, a capable compact, disguised as a point and shoot, can be handy. You look less dorky pointing it up to the sky.

I remember my younger brother when he was studying engineering, used to draw buildings like this, to the scale. It would appear easy but was in fact quite difficult.
You’re right, Sadje. This does have a feel of a perspective drawing. Something I didn’t realize until you mentioned it.

Beautifully sought out frame. Great capture!
