A Room with a (Different) View

Untitled (Corner Shop 11) from the series "Room Portraits" by Menno Aden

German photographer Menno Aden has a unique way of photographing a room: from above!

German photographer Menno Aden's Room Portraits series reevaluates the structure of a room by presenting an aerial perspective that typically flattens the three-dimensional space, reversing the effects of construction. This act of taking a real room and photographically reverting its appearance into a stylized blueprint offers insight into not only the size and shape of the area, but the type of person who dwells or works within the space.

I love it! It reminds me a bit of that "Things Organised Neatly" tumblr.

I wonder what my places look like from up there.

No one told me to blow in the cartridges. They just tended to visibly collect dust, you would have trouble getting it to run, look in there, and see a lot of dust. Dust is actually not very conductive so I'm not sure why it sounds silly to the guy. I agree that blowing didn't really work better than just reseating though.

"Prior to the NES I don’t recall people blowing into Atari or any other cartridge-based hardware that predated the NES "
We totally did. On our Commodore 64 too.
