"About a year ago I began photographing people and buildings at a distance, on my walk to and from work. Taking pictures from across a street, or high up in a building, or at the bottom of a staircase produced an interesting effect with scale. Often the human is overpowered while the built environment is magnified. This is especially so when the photograph is framed with a large amount of negative space. This mixing of scales frequently results in buildings and rooms appearing monolithic while humans seem alone and detached."
