The lone tree in a field, a pov up the side of one or more very tall buildings (three is good), people walking away from the camera in middle distance (in a large open space), foggy urban riverbanks or docksides, long exposures next to motorways, vanishing points, rail tracks. We all love these tropes, we photograph and look at them time and time again. Dead things, old things, rotting things, artefacts or people we don’t see in the usual round from morning toast to night metro train: please add your own. Photographs give us the permission to stare.
