Wow, it like this most so far of yours. The texture doesn't dominate it is merely part of the photo. Way cool scene and composition as well. Fits very well.

Took me a while to figure out what it was ... and maybe that is a good thing. Being a high tech piece of equipment shown in an 'past' fashion makes me think you jumped into the year 2050 with that image. I suppose someone recouperating the print might find it in such a condition and wonder what it was our generation was trying to achieve (or not). I really like the way you present your images, 3J; very artistic and full of expression.:highfive:


I also worry for the next generation, very much so. But ya know, they have to work it out like we had to work things out. Not much different. :shrug:

Matt, if you call what I do art, then I think all art is subjective. I wanted to create a foreboding image. That's all. Unsustainable use of fossil fuels, I fear, will be our doom. Will wind power and renewable energy save us or does BIG OIL rule! :shrug: - jimmy

Of course art is subjective, Jimmy, but without it interpretation of current events would suffer a tremendous blow. Where would we be as a society without voices like Dylan, artists like Picasso (Guernika) or authors like Orwell for example?

Your foreboding image does just that: it shows a fragile alternative. BIG OIL, BIG MONEY, this world seems to be all about BIG POWER. If we could convince society to change from a "want base" to a "need base" we would all be much better off. Unfortunately BIG MONEY indoctrinates us with "wants" all the time. :mad::wall-an::shrug:
