I frequently post about photos I'm considering promoting from photo album to wall (see
here &
here for examples). But no photo I've taken can hold a candle to these aerial shots:
The photos were taken by Alex MacLean, a photographer, pilot and author. I love how these photos really reveal the impressive impact humans have on landscapes. The photos of parking lots and streets packed with cars (many of them not included in my post) are especially unsettling, but also beautiful and captivating.
See more photos at
My Modern Met or check our MacLean's website
here. As a pilot, MacLean has a bit more access to such amazing aerial shots than you or I. But we can ogle and possibly use these photos as inspiration for a fabulous painting . . . ?

Those images are captivating and really should make us think about what we're doing to the earth. I can't wait to see what you do with that canvas!
ReplyDeleteI love your new blog design!! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! You're the first person to comment about it. Took me forever to create the header, so I won't be changing things for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dana! You know me though: it might take AWHILE. I am a total turtle when it comes to projects.
ReplyDeleteI think that wall will be the perfect spot!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ashly. I'd like to say I measured carefully and put a lot of thought into the scale. But truthfully, I wanted a square canvas and this one fit in our car :) Happy accidents!
