Looking Up To Creepy

What I saw here was something similar to a scene in Ghostbusters. You know that part where they all look up at the building as they are about to enter the building. Everything gets dark really fast and this is kind of what you see. Ok so I know that the two buildings don't look the same, but they give me the same vibe. Ghostbusters is my favourite movie, so there you go. Come to think of it most of my photography has a Ghostbusters..esk like view to them. It's light but dark, who knows really. He he he, now I have the music from the soundtrack running in my head. 
Then I started to notice just have important buildings are to me, new and old. The one above shares that same idea as the previous photo. You get the idea that it is sunny out, but what I'm trying to show is that no matter how sunny and bright the day is, there is somehow a bit of darkness in everything I see and photograph. The way my brain and mind perceives things, in a visual sense, is just like this. Anyone with depression working its way through your brain on a normal basis will understand this. I also feel that the darklight in every shot is what makes life interesting to me. Ultimately it's what I see that matters here, I'm just letting all of you in to visit my world. 
I would pick different things in the city to shot just because to me it had a creepy aspect to it. It would almost scare me, give me shivers, and then after the edit, wooooo!!! When it scares me I'm more intrigued by it. When ever I walk around to intentionally take photos I play really creepy music, which adds to the emotion of what I'm doing here. It works. That industrial feel really excites my insides, and guess what? It's all over this city. I know that this is just a cell phone tower, but it's a really awesome looking cell phone tower.
Every top of a building looks different from the next, they all have that look. I love them all. The building may look totally normal, however that part on top is what stands out to me. Look up my friends, because that is where things are that you don't normally see. This is where I find everything, I'm not scared to look around my city, to overlook things that I may look at all the time. Then there is that one thing that you didn't see before.
