architecture
A few months ago I asked a bunch of people to produce or give me an example of how they saw this world right at this moment. Some replied, and the next few weeks, their offerings will be posted in an ongoing series.
The second one is a shot by Henrik B. Clausen. If you like this, do engage and leave a comment. We’d love to hear from you. HBC is a film director and videographer from Denmark.

Ron is one of my favorite photographers. Forget Gump, but it is kind of a box of chocolates dealing with Ron. Combined with a raw style, not very often imbued by lots of editing - but bare, or naive, as Martin Sabine put it. Naive here, being a good thing, a conscious thing. So many people are semantically challenged, so I thought I would underscore that. The above one he sent me after I asked contributors for their version of 'the lone tree'. Not very lone, this one, but you get that trees might feel alone in the big city. Until a car rams into them and it is love at first sight.
He also has a keen eye for interesting stuff. Which is one of my modes myself, not seldom does something grab my attention, with my mind going 'hey, wtf was that, and what can I do with it' or 'fuckin hell, that looks different'. Click. Snap. Home. We did have a small voyeur discussion here on AB. I wonder - because this certainly evokes a stalker feeling. But the scene is probably nothing of the sorts. It is called 'conveying', for those of you wondering.
This is the kind of shot that I just love. It is how I see the world - it's a geometry of particles, compartmentalized, nothing ever touching and none of it really exists. No people or actors, yet the stage plays it out by itself, and proves you do not need action to tell a story, if you can rattle the brain of your audience. The last one was originally posted on IG.

Curves, curves everywhere curves. Everyday curves come and go without notice as life flows to your daily grind. Stop! Unwind, concentrate on your surroundings and you will see a whole new world of shapes. Things are never made up of any one shape but there are more curves than you can imagine and finding the right part of it to capture is the challenge. Bring on the challenge! Observe it until you stop in awe. Give the shapes life for others to see. A climax of curves for all to gawk at while wanting more.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Tyson is often pointless. In a very good way, mind you. Curves seem to find him, and his architecture shots often exude a softness you will not find elsewhere. They have the cutting joy of glass and geometry imbued with curve lines. Some of Tyson’s work will envelop you - this one, for example.

A line is not a line, it is an unending array of points and points do not exist. A line is pointless. A line is always pointless, especially the one I keep feeding you. Hold the line. How could you? There is no point to it. So do not hold on to my line. A line is pointless at this point, effortlessly pointless, pointing out the obvious pointlessness of me.
POINTLESS
