Woop woop woop. (Because I can. And it's the sound of the universe [check out the link]. And I can't think of a clever title.)

So, I was perusing tumblr looking for things to inspire the creativity that I'm a willing slave to when these pictures caught my eye.


My immediate reaction to these photos was to try to figure out why the photographer would set up the people and reflections this way, or in other words, what was the story they were trying to tell.

Personally, I think that these photos are supposed to be a representation of the idea that one's environment shapes who they are. The obvious outline of the people shows that the person is the subject, but that the viewer can see the city inside of them shows that the photographer is trying to show that the city is also within the person.

I think it's also interesting that they are looking out at the city, especially since they're above it. The words that come to mind are, birds eye view, a redtailed hawk, and surveyor.
