CONTINUING ON A THEME

FEELING THE STRENGTH AND STAMINA, BUTTRESS DETAIL, FERNBRIDGE, MAY 2012  
I am beginning to acquire some emotional sense of what it is that this structure is capable of evoking in my consciousness. Its mass gives it a presence, its form gives it beauty, and its design gives it grace. All of these elements work together creating aspects that tickle my senses and give to me a sense that defies my abilities as a writer. All I can do is attempt to interperet my feelings and preceptions via my visual medium with these photographs.

This leads me to the conclusion that, at least for now, I am incapable of creating a single image that fully conveys what I experience with this bridge. I think that to convey the message that I must consider this as a body of work.

The above image is a composite of three images. I used the 17mm TS lens at ASA 50.
