Tafeln

Every photograph on this site, whole.

A book that carries plates gathers them in one place and numbers them, because a plate gets referred to and a page only gets read. This is that gathering. There is not much in it yet.

The front page crops its plate — 16:7 on a desktop, opening to 4:3 on a phone — because a figure in a report is cut to the thing it is a figure of. Here they are uncut, at the same width, on the same keyline. That is the only reason this page exists.

The plate the front page opens with, and the clouds the first line of the index means. Cumulus congestus: the stage where the tower is still going up and the top has not yet flattened into an anvil.
