framing


framing, originally uploaded by edfooliu.

Idyllic.

I can't imagine this shot working without the 'obstruction' of the
door/window. It feels like it's abstracting away (and hiding outright) some
of the more tangible/'realistic' elements by making the shot about looking
_into_ a scene rather than simply _at_ a scene. I think the little
illuminated detail helps this effect. I can't quite say why/how.

man.. this is your best shot yet. it's like the whole scene is nicely contained in this very neat box. it's almost surreal.. if you look at it long enough, it starts to look like a real framed image (also helps to ignore the door thingy at the top)
