"It was the moment I picked up a camera that I became artistically interested in power-lines, and the way the frame or graphically segment our skies and environment. These objects weren’t placed there for aesthetic choices, it is pure industrialization and has essentially become crucial to our existence as a species. At certain angles, at certain times of the day, with the perfect light, these objects intersect with the environment and become beautiful. It is this precise moment that I find I am drawn to capturing. Points I shot in Budapest, Hungary. While I was exploring the city I noticed the lights and wires that ran through the streets, I looked up and discovered this intersection of graphic shapes that fit perfectly together at one particular angle. Each light became a marker or ‘Point’ where this beautiful graphic moment occurred. These photographs were shot very early in the morning, before the sun was too high. I wanted to use the soft light that bounced around between the buildings to shape the structures so they wouldn’t be too contrasty and with direct sunlight creating another compositional element." - Dael Oates
