I Admit To Being Slightly Obsessed With Taking Photos That Have Crooked Horizons And Squaring Them To
I admit to being slightly obsessed with taking photos that have crooked horizons and squaring them to horizontal. I know there’s a notion that a cock-eyed frame makes a more dramatic photo, but it often seems to me that the result just looks lazy or sloppy, like a snapshot, of which there are plenty with crooked horizons. Here’s one where I question whether inattention to the horizon is an improvement—a fashion photo with a world champion skydiver (link below). Left, as published (in Tumblr): what’s going on?; right, with horizon horizontal: the model is now clearly arrowing toward the ground.

earth and moon
you and me earth and moon
and our melting sky so full of shadows
aflame we’ll meet again quietly like this
let the world wonder our longing
we’ll tiptoe a little closer and kiss.
