IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT...

It Is about the memorable objects and images that I come across by walking in the streets of Vienna; scenes or details that catch my eye and reminds me of a dejavu or a memory from my Hometown (Tehran).


 All the photos are taken by cellphone through ‘Total Station’* camera (without any colour editing). A camera that is used by Surveying Engineers to measure the distance of objects in long distances by making them seem closer just like my memory.

   * A total station (TS) or total station theodolite (TST) is an electronic/optical instrument used for surveying and building construction. It is an electronic transit theodolite integrated with electronic distance measurement (EDM) to measure both vertical and horizontal angles and the slope distance from the instrument to a particular point, and an on-board computer to collect data and perform triangulation calculations.

Reflectorless total stations can measure distances to any object that is reasonably light in color, up to a few hundred meters.
