This may be the best article I’ve read that details many of the elements of the Wes Anderson aesthetic. As it becomes more ubiquitous over time, some may appreciate it, not knowing anything about its origin. Fans of it should enjoy this article.

It is often said that one does not need to travel far to get good photos, there are many a few feet from your door if you just look for them. Sometimes, they can be a few feet inside your door. Then black and white/grayscsle image of the lamp, window blind slats, and black background screen on a stand is a few feet from my bed. It has been there a while, but I didn’t “see” it there and visualize it as in this picture until I woke up the other morning and there it was! One thing I enjoy about photography is how it encourages he to look deeper into object around me and grab a nice image from the mundane.
This is a picture I took of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge Arch in Dallas Texas one Sunday morning in October 2018. Due to a period of heavy rain, the Trinity River was at flood stage, cresting at over 40 feet. I went there with the objective of getting shots of the high water level and flood waters in the levee. In the end, the nice cloudy background in the shots provided some unexpected aesthetic subject matter as an added bonus.
