| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
this picture shows carvings in the outside wall of Freiburg's cathedral. These oval and circular-shaped carvings orginiate from the medieval times; see the inscription AD MCCCXX at the top of the photo (=anno domini 1320).
The carvings had a very practical use: loafs of bread had to be at least the size of the carvings. One can distinguish oval baguette-type shapes from the traditional round farmer's loaf.
I guess scales were rare in those days and that't probably why people resorted to a way of standardizing bread size/weight by cutting it in stone -- literally forever!.
The picture was gamma/contrast-enhanced, noise filtered, blurred (Gauss filter) and inverted (=negative image) and finally colorized (blue tinted).
The inversion gives it this eerie felling as if the shapes and writing were hovering above an unknown surface, maybe a different planet altogether?
What do you think, does it work or is it too contrived or just boring? |
