These are a small group of some black and white photos of Indian Islamic Architecture that I think demonstrate the use of abstract composition, use of light, and tonal range that 290 has been talking about very well.
The statement at the top, ” The thing I don’t understand is why so often one hears discussion of the fruits of human labor as if it’s all the creation of some alien race”, was thought provoking as well, and pertinent to anyone who choosing a creative career or making art at all. We live in a society that demands a high volume of work and productivity, and I think quality often gets sacrificed. I think this statement and the images of the incredibly intricate and beautiful temples should remind us to slow down every once in a while and take the time to make extraordinary work, not just a lot of decent work.
