TITLE: City Abstractions

When I am exploring a city - or when I am just on my way to somewhere - I keep noticing small details, unusual perspectives, reflections of light falling at an interesting angle.

I firmly believe that paying attention to detail, to small factors matter. With my abstract pictures I want to illustrate that not only the "big picture" matters. Often it is the attention to detail that makes a venture successful, that leads to advance in engineering, medicine, etc. I walk around in life with eyes wide open to discover not only how beautiful for example the entirety of a building is but how a little detail contains as least much beauty (and importance to the building). Often the result of taking a photo of a small detail is rather like an abstract work of art.

The pictures submitted here are a small selection of my City Abstraction series, mostly taken in Singapore, currently my home town:
MV1: Detail of the façade of the Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore
MV2: The outside of the ArtScience Museum, Singapore
MV3: Roof detail of the Esplanade - Theaters on the Bay, Singapore
MV4: Reflection of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in the façade of the One Raffles Quay building, Singapore
MV5: Reflection of a small detail of the OUE Tower in the façade of the Fullerton Bay Hotel, Singapore
MV6 and MV7: Details of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel building's façade, Singapore
MV8: This is the only picture in this series not taken in Singapore: detail of the floor on the way up to the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France.
