Daily Deviation

Given 2008-04-15

citizen by *sothenkylesays This seems like a scene out of a strange dream, with the preaching man, the towering clothespin (45 feet, to be exact, created by artist Claes Oldenburg), and the too-perfect pattern of the buildings' windows in the background. Then, when you full-view, all the details come together to make the photo even cooler, specifically the Bible in the man's hand and the namesake of the title. Great work. (Featured by `rhapsouldize)

Awesome shot, I love the composition. Also I really like how the buildings fill the background (not all the way but close enough).. I dont know what deejay is talking about but I love that kind of framing. Its one reason why I envy the darkroom. And I have no idea what the title is talking about, haha. Fill me in here..
