Abelardo Morell "Manhattan Bridge Morning"
April 30, 2010
I chose this image by Abelardo Morell shot with the technique called camera obscura. He create these series by blacking out one of the windows in the room to create a giant camera then creates a small opening and put a lens. I chose this specific image because it gives me a sense of peace and loneliness. Sort of like a dream without pressure or stress. The colors of the picture are what gives it this emotion. Not only that but also the lack of people, cars and boats that are usually in this crowed city. The white couch is part of the this feeling because it's where we sit after a long day.
