To the vanishing point

Studying perspective in art or photography? Visit Buenos Aires! Something about it makes you want to capture the city on film/paper as it stretches neatly towards the horizon-- thank you, modern city planning-- while it also breaks up the straight lines with endless neoclassical details carved or built into the buildings.

Here's my layman's guide to How To Plan Cities and Use Lots of Perspective:

Find an obelisk and aim for it!

Reverse it!


Church it!

Top it with some dudes and a bell!

Walk it!

Elevate it!

Pair old and new with it!

Reflect it!

Cobblestone it!

Randomly arch it!

Plant it!

Reverse upward selfie it!
