This geographically arresting photograph looks like a product of Photoshop. But Jim Sanborn had no digital help with this image. It’s part of The Topographic Projections and Implied Geometries Series, the result of Sanborn’s wandering the world with a large-scale projector and a camera in the 1990s. He made a variety of geometric patterns on black film and projected them onto geological formations like this one, often from half a mile away. Read more about his methodology here. We love how the concentric circles are distorted by the contours of the rock, mapping the rock’s shape in a mathematical way without detracting from its natural beauty and colour.
