There’s something about this kind of photography that is beyond my ability to comprehend it. I don’t know much about the technical aspects of the medium, just that it seems to be a way of shooting no more at home than in New York.

Which I look forward to re-acquainting myself with in September. I’ll see you there.

P.S. For fans of tilt-shift, you’ll also adore this video.

I just came across this incredible New York City tilt-shift photo set over at flavorwire.

From their description:

People, cars, and buildings look like tiny toys in Olivo Barbieri’s uncanny photographs. Shooting with a large format camera from a helicopter, he captures real-life urban environments, but makes them resemble tabletop constructions by tilting and shifting the lens to keep some parts clear and other parts out of focus. While Rome, Shanghai, Las Vegas, and Amman, as well as other cultural capitals, have been subjected to the Italian photographer’s unique point of view, in 2007 he hovered over New York, where he shot 6,000 images that got boiled down to 17 large-scale prints.
