I wish I could show this to everyone who questioned why I went to school for Architecture then Photography, as if they were unrelated and isolated. For me, the marriage is obvious.

A few months ago I came across the work of photographer Christopher Payne and can't stop thinking about his images. The photos in his 'Asylum' series are particularly breathtaking and I can't wait for my copy of his book to arrive. Between 2002 and 2008, Payne photographed seventy mental hospitals in thirty states, gathering images of aging and abandoned institutions. Trained as an architect, Payne's photography naturally gravitates towards historical and industrial architecture. What I enjoy so much about his hospital series is how he documented the silence and calm of these places that we've all imagined as terrifying, uneasy and sometimes violent. His photos capture moments that allow the viewer to transport back to a time where patients, doctors and staff still walked the halls. Throughout these spaces, the colours, abandoned objects and equipment are signifiers of the past and provide a humanistic element that helps describe the quality of life inside the seemingly ominous architecture. go to chrispaynephoto.com to see more images...     songs i am listening to 02/06/2010
This is one of my favourite Stevie Wonder songs. It's a good song to put you in a better mood. I was recently given a copy of the compilation album, Dark Was The Night. There a few good tracks, including this one that has made its way into my current rotation. Uptight (Everything's Alright) - Stevie Wonder Inspiration Information - Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings |
