Overview
The sense of energy at Canary Wharf is palpable; it's not a place that is often associated with quiet contemplation. Yet pausing for a moment reveals real beauty and softness alongside the corporate architecture. The patterns and colors can be mesmerizing like a kaleidoscope as they change with the light and weather. With so much activity all around, capturing these colorful images requires a focus that isn't immediately obvious to passersby. Curry can spend hours at a time examining one body of water, and the more he watches the more he sees. The images in this book are inspired by his childhood fascinations with kaleidoscopes and Spirograph and being captivated by the endless variation of colors and shapes. The photos may seem like they have been manipulated or created in Photoshop but they appear in this book as they did in nature, as beautiful fleeting reflections.Author Biography
