This is one of my favorite photographs. It holds that position for several reasons.
- I found it randomly on a hike while traveling through Europe after college on the top of a small hill above a town I randomly ended up in that was essentially in the middle of nowhere in northern Greece. I don’t believe that I could ever find my way back there. I am not sure it even really existed (except for this photographic evidence).
- I took it with a 35mm point-and-show. This was before I was able to invest in good camera equipment. I actually took some pretty amazing photos with that thing. I had it all through college and really got good at using the right film to achieve what I really wanted to (not to mention being pretty skilled at covering and partially covering the flash to achieve cool lighting effects).
- And finally, and most importantly, I just love the composition as a whole. I mean what the hell is that? It’s clearly some sort of house of worship but dude, it’s tiny. It’s difficult to tell from the perspective but it was literally like 6 feet square plus the little atrium at the back. It was locked so I don’t know what the inside looked like. Sometimes I wonder if I would want to know. Maybe it was some sacrificial alter or something. But regardless, it is a cool angle, cool scenery, cool lighting (and yes, with a side of cool digital effects).
