thanks for the comment & sorry for my late reply! about the “perspective part” you mentioned: yes, that’s both technically and philosophically a big part of my work but particularily of that very picture. technically choosing a perspective at the height of one’s hip or or below often brings some very subtle and subversive tension to the viewer’s horizon. in that pictures case this added wonderfully to the fact that this road had some thick, massive and ultra-safe crash barriers on its side with only that tiny gap in between to cross that tiny, little, fragile bridge across a little water stream. both things in combination lets your comment really shine because it was also the “story” that came to my mind when i discovered that little, “talkative” spot on that road: that it’s sometimes indeed a wise thing to “stop and look around”, even on the safest roads, to find these tiny, so easily miss-able sections to cross and dive into a whole new, nice and totally unexpected territory.
I always enjoy the perspective part way along as well. This reminded me to stop and look around as you pick a path to travel on.
