art | jasper james

i believe these photography images by jasper james are from a few years ago but that doesn't make them any less beautiful (in the art world things become more so over time!). on saturday night i was driving home from toronto and after turning the bend of the highway, suddenly all of the city, the lights and the lanes were laid out before me in this really magnificent way. if you've never lived in a big city, or seen the way major highways intersect in ontario - it's kind of frightening and awe-inspiring at the same time. it's all so much bigger then you.

i feel the same way when i look at these photographs below. these silent silhouettes contrast boldly against the major cityscapes below. each image is different; proffering peace, longing, melancholy and amorous emotions.
