These are very famous, old rental units on the beach just south of Provincetown. They have been immortalized by Joel Meyerowitz. My "version" is rather unlike any of his I have seen :-) Closed for the season at this point. Only open Memorial Day through Labor Day.
The owners (there are many more of them behind me, perhaps 24 altogether) have tried to tear them down and build somethign more modern, but they've been declared "historic" and can't be touched. You can see them in early 20th-century images of Truro, maybe 1920's they were built, I'm not sure.
Cool image. I know exactly where those are, I remember seeing them when we were driving up to P-town a few years ago. I thought, hmmm, must go back and shoot them!
I love their saltbox shape. The geometric sense of the image is very pleasing to me. The whole image is a series of geometric shapes and lines, except for the clouds. NICE!
Reminds me of Edward Hopper. Even the colors have the same overall feeling of blues and yellows. He did a painting of the same buildings I'm sure.Titled 'Corn Hill' from Truro, Cape Cod. I really like this one Robert.
The two-point perspective here is the sort of thing you see almost exclusively in line drawings. It's really interesting to see such a composition imported into photography.
Looks good, but I'm not too fond of the black asphalt in front. It occupies a significant portion of the composition and is very distracting and pulls my eye away from the rest of the scene. It doesn't seem to add anything, so I'd be interested in why you chose to include it. If there was some detail in the foreground then maybe I would be ok with it.
I like the asphalt, it's what makes it unique in my mind. It makes it feel like like the rest of the picture is just painted on two walls coming into a corner. It's messing with my mind. I do wonder if it would have been better with something minor there though, even just a few errant pebbles.
You're weird in the best sense possible. I really like this image. The geometric shapes play with each other, mirroring how the color tones work off each other. The angles are very very arresting.
Bear, I am reminded of the winter marsh cabin. Same elegance through understatement. But this one is even better because the cabins form a gentle parody of a suburban street. The cheerful uniformity, the hint of anthropomorphism hidden in the facades, and the immaculately groomed "grounds", completes the illusion of an idealised suburbia. All of this prepares the restless viewer to sooner or later begin to wonder about the rock at front right. The only significant organic form in sight ... its presence must speak of a quiet non-conformist residing at Number 1. As for the big chevron of fresh asphalt, I don't know what it might mean, but I've tried to visualise the scene without it, and my conclusion is that I'm glad that it's there. It establishes a theatrical feel that I like. The light is sublime, naturally. I'm guessing this is the old Nikon ... it has a whiff of that lens.
I'll start. Only 11 pm here. This shot says "angles" to me. This theme is contrasted by the very textured rock/pebbles in the fore left and right. As with all of your shots, lighting is great. I'm guessing it wouldnt have the wide appeal to garner a high vote(6.5 +) here on DPC but thats just my opinion. Maybe clone the wire in the BG left???
