Professional 2nd Place Fine Art / Architecture - Joel Micah Miller, Germany:

The Monumental project deals with events that occur in famous places. Photographed in metropolises in Europe and the United States, Monumental analyzes what happens or could happen in a popular space over a short period of time. The high profile locations are selected for their nearly iconic level of recognition and number of eager visitors. By seamlessly combining multiple exposures taken over the span of approximately one hour, each
detail is carefully selected to construct a dynamic lighthearted image.
