Utata's summer project 2016 invites us to go... something.
The "Go arts" category invites images inspired by existing art, as this composition was inspired by the photomosaic cover art for Talking Heads More Songs About Buildings and Food. Imperfect alignment of windows in the school lunchroom provide a natural, albeit skewed, mosaic view of the vicinity.
Addendum
Another perspective on this image was serendipitously provided by a photo adjacent to it in Utata's pool: Beverly's image of a vintage multigraph cabinet card. These trick photos were made with strategic placement of mirrors to allow a single exposure to capture all sides of the subject. Note: The image has since been removed from Utata's pool.
Technical note
The original image had a sky that was blown out when the rest of the image properly exposed, and adjustments in Lightroom to remedy this left the image seeming flat and lacking contrast. Partial color replacement in Topaz Restyle, using a high contrast cross-process custom preset (a blue-tinged Kodak Ectachrome image with colors from buildings and landscape), recovered structure in the cloudy sky.
