Photographer’s Note

This is a point of view of one of these huge buildings which characterize urban architecture after WW2 (in the Sixties and Seventies). Basics in such architecture are infinite perpectives and geometric design, with an integration of public spaces in the private one (like this long outdooor corridor), so that people meet more easily. But 40 years later, it failed, in France in any case. Degradation of urban spaces, lifestyle lost and growing insecurity are nowadays part of daily life in these areas.
This photo was taken in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe (French West Indies), in the Caribbean sea. This building was built ine the early Sixties. But I could have taken the same photo in Paris area.

I am not used to present this type of photo. The black&white treatment (higher contrast in particular) gives it an old style (from the Sixties). I hope you will like it. Any critique?
