Window Fan | Often the way things are Mechanical rhythm Echo of seasons past |

andering around the alleys of Higginsville late in the day, I found this lone fan installed in the window of an old building. The light and composition seemed right, so I squeezed off a few shoots. It is mostly a study of shape and texture, seemingly one of my favorite pictorial devices. I will post a companion piece to this tomorrow, shot at a different location in the same town.
Finding and capturing variety within a series of similar subjects is a challenge that ensures photography remains an intellectually satisfying activity. A series is defined as a number of related images arranged or coming one after the other in succession. The ordering and nature of the relationships are, of course, highly variable. In a larger context, a photoblog is a series, with the relationship being all images are created by one person, and with the ordering based on chronology.
“The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking--and looking.” - Brooks Atkinson
