un-settled

Why you pick up your camera and capture urbanscapes like this? Is there a kind of hidden seduction? A little bit of geometry, some floral elements, a red door, signs of decay. A sense of unsettlement. Nothing special. And you find yourself settled in the skin of this scene for a long optical moment.
