Vertigo


Dont look down. Today I visited Newcastle's Baltic art gallery, although there was sod all on show as they were in between exhibitions it was still interesting to photograph around the quayside in Newcastle. Ive a few more pictures from my wanderings here.

This was taken at the top of the Baltic, an old converted flour mill now a (sometimes) excellent gallery. Recently hitting the news with the rejection of some of Nan Goldins work.
Anyway, I thought this picture was a little more suitable to the Barthes theme of death my blog is joyfully morphing towards. This extentuated by the red iris at the bottom from the greedy devil, or perhaps the flames of hell - who knows? It could even be a light installation...

aaah the baltic. It's weird, sometimes it's absolutely excellent, at others every single thing in the place is absolute shite. I have no idea who the curators are but they're an inconsistant bunch.

anyway, eexccellent shot, the depth is staggering.
