Rue des Rosniers: Ground series

I am exploring the concept of Ground from two angles, from above and at ground level. This photo shows my set up for the street level views with the tripod around 25 cm above the pattern of pavement. I’m using a my  Canon 7D video/stills camera. In Paris, I have concentrated on Rue des Rosniers in the Marais because it is a walking street and I’m staying nearby.

Casa Battlo, Barcelona

A home renovation (1904-06) by Antoni Gaudi inspired by the shapes and forces of nature.

The disc-shaped, ceiling light in the main drawing room is set in a plaster spiral, evoking a  vortex, a wave, or water going down the plug hole… turning the natural world on its head, by inverting it above the viewer’s head… maybe it reflects the eye of the storm…
