'cause this is thriller, thriller night

03.08.10 (posted 03.9.10) - it's funny how you can pass by the same street every day and not pay attention to certain things. i feel like sometimes i am on autopilot going to and from work. i guess something was different today and i saw my subway stop in a different light. it was the first time i really noticed how massive the trees are surrounding the park and how the curviness of the branches look very similar to a spider's web.

i took out my iphone and started taking pictures of the trees. i couldn't get the composition right on these shots because i couldn't fit all the trees into one frame. i decided to take a different approach and take snippits of the area instead. i used an app to stitch the pictures together and came up with a pretty decent panorama of the museum, subway stop, trees, and gates of the nearby park. on my subway ride, i started experimenting with more apps and came up with this. i originally didn't intend for the photograph to look so ominous. however, i thought the processing i chose for the photo was the best way to accentuate the lines of the branches and glow of the buildings near by.
