Architectural AlgoRhythms 2014 - 2019

The first pieces of digital equipment my children bought with holiday/birthday money were point and shoot cameras. They made stop motion videos, recorded feats of parkour and achieved what was likely the first footage from a human powered uncontrolled drone; effected by turning the camera on and throwing it in the air. The cameras survived but were soon replaced by the new phones coming on to the market. I began to use the cameras, two Nikons and a Fuji. I had been impressed from the start with the panorama function on the cameras. It required taking three sequential photographs which the camera then stitched together to form a panoramic image. The results are remarkable within the ability of the photographer to provide an aligned set of photographs. Taken beyond that … the panorama function, ever stalwart, will attempt to join whatever it is presented with.

  1. I love how you can play with the limitations of a technology to produce creative and unusual results. Well played. πŸ™‚

  2. All familiar buildings to me, having grown up walking past them, or going into them, but Robert has re-molded them, twisted them, and realigned them into new forms that I love even more. Now they’re forms from an ‘imaginative photographer’, a ‘modern architect’ or a ‘brilliant stage designer’. Well done Robert!

  3. Hey Robert, my friend Bev just made me aware of your website. Good stuff. I really enjoy the way you deal with the challenge these things pose. I’ve been working with panoramas myself ever since the late ’70’s and for the last couple of decades or so doing them as 360ΒΊ’s. Also enjoyed your documentation in the other two shows: straightforward, unpretentious – about the photographed more than about the photographer; a rarity these days, I find.

    1. Thank you, Richard … The first panoramas I did were at the museum… the stitching process was done at the installation stage… now even a little point and shoot can do them in just seconds. Would like to see some of your panoramas.

  4. Beyond architectural photography . Between the glass and the stones . You have captured reflections fighting with Ghosts .

  5. Beautiful work, it is amazing how well the early digital technology worked! Also enjoyed seeing so many old landmarks. Great work Rob πŸ‘

  6. I love these, Rob! I used to do the same but literally cut & paste. I love the wonky angles – reminds me of the “Dancing Lady” building in Prague, and cartoons, and several other associations.

  7. As someone else said I’m familiar with almost all these buildings but your panoramas give me a whole new perspective on them. And, yes, it is amazing what a little camera can do these days. Thanks Rob.

  8. Thank you Wendy “I have often walked down this street before
    But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before” smiley emoji

  9. Such a disorienting nd wonderous perspective Rob! Not just buildings, but art. Thank you for sharing!

  10. This time I was struck by pictures that captured edifices that are no longer there, like the apartments at Balmoral and Cumberland with the orange window frames, the old Public Safety Building and Window Park. Amazing how much can change in a short time period.
