Tension

"The time has come when the normal revolt against time, space, and matter must assume a form not overtly incompatible with what is known of reality -- when it must be gratified by images forming supplements rather than contradictions of the visible and measurable universe."
H.P.Lovecraft (from S.T. Joshi, "H.P. Lovecraft")

Frozen

"Architectural photography can involve a lot of waiting; the building becomes a kind of sundial, while you wait for a shadow to crawl away from a detail you want, or for the mass and balance of the structure to reveal itself in a certain way."

William Gibson - "The Gernsback Continuum"
