PhotoLedger: Flying by Sachigusa Yasuda
Sachigusa Yasuda, an artist from Tokyo, features a desolate perspective being on an elevated ground.

She takes us to the view of looking down the earth from a skyscraper through her digital photography. And it was excellent.

 

The experience of her flying photos is as if you are on the edge of a building’s window, your eyes coordinating with your mind in magnifying the distance to the ground. Some people feel nauseated, fearing the heights.

 

What do you feel about this? I’m kept between praising human’s brilliance of industrial design and longing for the natural view we should be seeing but obstructed by these buildings.

    Marvellous photography, but the image should advise us of our lack of connection to Earth, an essential state if we are to survive.

    That is a very very cool photo! Especially because it so utterly unlike my own photography. Its one of those pictures that makes you think “I wish I’d taken that”…

    I am thrilled by this perspective because I do have a fear of heights and I appreciate this EXCELLENT visual from a safer vantage point.

    Not nauseating, but I can’t quite place the feeling. Looks like some spindly city not yet discovered in the Land of Oz.

    Beautiful and awe inspiring but I wonder if like domino’s they’ll come crashing down, one after the other. Excellent photo!

    It’s incredible. I don’t feel nauseated, although I’m sure I would be if I were on top of that building. It seems like something out of a fantasy.

The fitness industry is more marketing and psychology than physical.
What if this place we call Earth is actually Purgatory; that we'll be in Heaven no matter.
There is a way for a guy who never played basketball to beat LeBron James.
Alarms are supposed to wake us right in time, but the snooze button paved the way to cheat on it.

The morning world is a problem for the night owls. They aren't programmed to be awake early in the day so they rely on the blast of alarm clocks. But people hit snooze almost autom..

Believe in possibilities. Believe in human potential. Believe in yourself and you’ll have the power to change your fate”
