I went up to the top floor of a new multi-storey car park today for the first time. It's been open about six months now, but this is the first time that I have ventured inside.
It's a tall one, and is located close to the railway station. I enjoy seeing the city from up high, but I don't like being so exposed. I have a fear of heights, and don't like going to the edge, as I think the wall is going to break and I will plunge to my fate.
So I took this photo with my arm outstretched over the side, camera gripped strongly in my hand, and the strap wrapped around my wrist, so I didn't drop it.
The building site was the original car park for the station, but as you can see they've dug a great big hole and going to fill it with concrete, ready for the new tram stop, or transport hub as the planners are calling it.
So I have two building sites to visit now. Work is commencing slowly on the old Odeon. I had a look today and a lot of the rubble has been taken away. Maybe I'll show an updated picture at the weekend.
I see you have the same problem as me, Heights, or is it fear of falling? Im never sure which is right.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like this picture! I think it's because it combines street photography with landscape photography. It captures a moment from an interesting angle, it's well edited, the black and white is perfect for the subject matter, it's perfectly exposed and it's TACK SHARP. Great work Chris. I may be coming to you for photography lessons soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea for b&w for this picture!
