ParkingMeter Opus

   Tumbles across my vision
This moment is surprisingly dry
In a dispassionate neighborhood

O pus is a Latin word for work. It is used in many subject areas, notably in music and architecture. Music works by composers are given opus numbers, which generally run in order of publication. In architecture, opus specifically describes a method or style of connecting building elements.

Images are about connecting and organizing visual elements.

"When I make a photograph I want it to be an altogether new object, complete and self-contained, whose basic condition is order -- unlike the world of events and actions, whose permanent condition is change and disorder."
-- Aaron Siskind
