"The photographer was interested in the mountain with the sky as a background, and beside it the cable against the same background. The mountain, if I try to analyze his motives, serves to accentuate the height of the cable. That, to use a phrase from architecture, is a "functional" photo. For me, the cable, as a line that has been placed next to a form, and the relation between the cable and the mountain, express much more when you forget the "functionality". To that purpose I turned the direction of the photo and I allow this relation between the mountain and the cable the status of two forms with equal rights".
