And While We're on the Subject...Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008 - 05:48AMPine Corner « Previous Main Next »  I looked at five different images as candidates for today's post. So naturally I preferred the one with no story. The two buildings are at the corner of Grant and Pine.

What a terrific contrast; and what a great argument for older architecture versus modern monolithic tedium. Good one. (I might have straightened the lines of the buildings on left and right.)

I kind of like how the buildings' lines lean into each other, as though they are pitched in some kind of architectural battle of stylistic wills. Who will prevail?

I am can't do perspective correction right now. There doesn't seem to be a good plug-in for Aperture yet and if I port the image over to the GIMP it strips off the EXIF data. Perhaps someone can suggest a workaround short of buying photoshop. In the meantime, I resort to the older method of aligning the verticals to the main point of interest,in this case, the point where the two buildings "meet".
