Convention Center, Phoenix, Arizona, 2009

The towering grand atrium entrance, shared by the Phoenix Convention Center and Symphony Hall, features a 40-foot tall sculpture in the form of a mirror, entitled “Art is guaranty of sanity,” by Louis Bourgeois. I photographed this man sitting below the mirror with a 14mm wideangle lens turned vertically. By using such a wide lens, I stress the size of the building by incongruously juxtaposing it with the lone figure. The lens is so wide, that it not only includes the huge sculpture, but lifts the eye all the way up to the ceiling as well.

You make such good use out of your very wide lens.....here and elsewhere. I think Phoenix is probably filled with "very large" sculptures and the like. The man sitting at the table looks so very small in comparison, and I like that he is looking upwards toward the very large view outside.
