Reconstructing the constructions. I have enough material from two days at the waterfront to keep me busy for a year.

I’m heading to the waterfront park project today

I’m heading to the waterfront park project today to shoot the new construction replacing the viaduct. This image from last Sunday’s visit is a very important one to me. I went through this tunnel riding the rails in a box car when I was 19. The whole composition is a parable of time and gentrification, with the new crowds lined up at the railing above, the careful fencing that somehow prevents nobody from adding new graffiti to the old, the gleaming towers in the distance. I have at least a dozen versions of this— full color, toned, and many many iterations of the values, each one telling a different story.

I’m working on a new portfolio of construction photography going back and forth between cell phone and my #Sony7Rii. This is the Sony, with a Zeiss 24-70 and the textures are amazing.

Not that accounting doesn’t have a certain iambic harmony when it’s working, but this, for instance: the harp in unexpected light refracted from the camellia blooming. The exquisite pause. The word for rainbow has many translations. “Arcoiris” is one. Right next to “arco,” in the dictionary of first words — to use the bow rather than to pluck the strings. How do you approach a lover? How do you make rainbows and not break the strings?$

Hope is that small dandelion that…..distracts me

Hope is that small dandelion that…..distracts me from data entry and math. You will hear from me again when I have finished my taxes🤦‍♀️.
