Monday, Sep. 8th, 2008 -- My mind is melting.

On September 18th, the SF MOMA is opening an exhibit called Double Down: Two Visions of Las Vegas. One of the two artists featured is photographer Olivo Barbieri. Olivo uses a tilt-shift lens and photographs the ground while riding high above it in a helicopter. The effect on the final product is insanity inducing:

Santa Monica Pier

I've been infatuated with his photos and have spent the last few days attempting to digest any and all information about Barbieri that I can find. The coolest news, other than the upcoming exhibition opening, is that there's a book coming out in October about his recent project, photographing waterfalls. Suffice it to say I will be buying this book, looking at this book, and continuing to scrutinize every aspect of these photos. I brain think sad now explodey.
