1. go to the fourth folder on your computer where you store your pictures,
2. pick the fourth picture in that folder,
3. explain the picture,
4. tag four people to do the same: holyoutlaw, ajshepherd, separated, lamentables (that's two I know personally, two I don't, two men and two women).




box mentality
The lobby of the Novotel in Tung Chung, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. ( 26 OCTOBER 2008 )

This is actually one of my favourite compositions of last year, but it wasn't included in my regular '10 best photos' because I only uploaded it in December after taking another look at it. It was meant as a simple candid shot of the guy in the foreground, but on closer inspection a total of four people can be seen, and all inside boxes. It's an unusually geometric shot – I found that that line down the centre is precisely down the centre, and is also perfectly vertical, and there's no photoshopping done at all other than to make it b/w. My art college photography teacher was always shouting at me to "Hold the bloody camera straight!!", advice which I still consciously reject, but on this occasion I must have been channeling him. This one's for you, Malcolm Hatton.
