Beautiful Geometry




































































































My understanding of geometric figures, functions and equations is basic, let alone at such depth. So to discuss and critique Coxeter's 'Beauty of Geometry' would be rash of me to say the least. Instead, i can observe and assess the fundimental beauty of the product, and admire the structures themselves. By structures i supose i aught to say formations, but by form i suppose i also mean the imagery. I refer here to the sheer beauty and precision of shapes and the harmonious relationship between algebraic type and line diagrams on display...

Sherif Elhage

I thank Its Nice That for alerting me to the work of Sherif Elhage. This unassuming series titled 'from the ground up' portraits an angle of architecture that we're not so acustomed to viewing, using the sky as negative space. Compositionally beautful. The website prologue demands one to know that there's not a ounce of camera trickery or manipulation used in the method, just clever and interesting photography in all it's glory.
