catnip, water, Chicago, glass Those were the words in a brainstorming session that led to this photo:
I named the photo Metropolis, loosely tying the "Chicago" word to Gotham City and was thinking about Tim Burton's Gotham City in Batman Returns when I set up the shot. I used a wide angle lens and underlighting in an expressionist type treatment that he might have done. It was my best attempt transforming an onion into a city.
Now I'm browsing Wikipedia, and stumble upon this movie poster for the 1927 German Expressionist movie Metropolis. All this was probably connected in my subconscious, but I just didn't connect everything together until just now... Kind of eerie how "similar" they seem.
