Carl De Keyzer
This photograph was taken in New Delhi, India in 1986 at Jantar Mantar, which is an astronomy complex. This particular photo is of the gigantic sun dial that resides there. The photograph illustrates some distinct geometric shapes, such as the trapezoidal shape of the main platform next to the Indian man and the rectangular columns that are towering over the man and the girl. The cylindrical shape of the center column is recognizable as well. There are many diagonal and vertical lines that run through this picture, primarily the diagonal lines of the main platform to the left of the man and the vertical lines of the center cylindrical column. One can perceive a lot of depth in this picture as well. It seems that the man is standing in between two of the many thin platforms right in front of the photographer and the size of the girl in the background makes you wonder how far she actually is from the man. The platforms seem to really reach far into the picture and it also makes one question how far the man is from the center cylindrical column. Overall, this picture is very creative and definitely incorporates a lot of depth perception.
