I love the really stupipd comments some people leave - 'oof' indeed. Perhaps she means the impact was so intense she felt winded, that this shot so deeply affected it her it took her breath away, only too literally. Somehow I think not.
Abstract photography setttles generally into two camps - the pretty, which i think we can happily dismiss, and that that suggests some relation to our natural world, the world as percieved by us everyday. taht world of course includes the images, be they film, television or photographic which we are also presented with. Thus the function of this image: if the relationship to the great pyramid was not so clear, your title has nicely thumped that home.
The 'abstract' of course, takes us out of the field of being able to critique the image from any accepted technical standpoint - the recognised technicalities don't hold, and so one one can only comment on the srtistic vision as exhibited - yours, here, is evidently one of steel, of the colder hues and decaying shades of metal and of rust. There is a nice parallel to be drawn there, with the decadent decline of the Egyptian civilisation (when was any civilisation's decline not decadent?), but perhaps that would take us further still away from the proper realm of the abstract. |
