Hamburg Rathaus Stretching Up Towards The Sky

Photo by Marcio Faustino.

This is a pinhole photograph (a photograph made without lens) of Hamburg City Hall and its fountain.

I like how the building stretches up towards the sky as if it is stretched above us, the viewer has a kind of ghostly like scenery.

The black and white image transmits a sense of past and coolness. Such coolness feeling is sensed through  the building and expressed by its own antique architecture, as well as enhanced by the white snow and the contrast of the gray sky.

The stretched edges of the photo, created by the ultra wide angle image, has a dynamic feeling, as if we are approaching or distancing the building, or, as if the building is approaching us or distancing from us.
