Resting Nite - Raptures Alight!

One of the reasons that I chose this theme is because of this definition of Urban Landscapes (as taken from Urban Landscapes):

Urban landscape photography

• in some way describe a town or city
• represents an attempt to understand our experience of the city
• shows a dedication to the subject, expressed through a body of work rather than isolated images
• concentrates on structures or processes rather than on people
• may deal in either details or a broader view

This may have been my shortcoming, but when I first heard about urban landscape photography, I thought it was skylines and vistas. I’ve since learned that some of the best urban landscape photography gets caught up in some of the details.

Some sites that I’ve come to love as a result of this project include:

• Cornershots (urban photography of NYC)
• Photographing Urban Landscapes
• Urban Landscapes @ pbase
• No Words Forum - Urban Landscapes
