Trust the satellite view

December 11th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Great art piece that fuses our trust of imagery and ‘events/places’ in religious history. As Geoff who works with me just said .. “… I honestly dont take any image for granted anymore. satellite, portraits of people, street scenes, anything.
