Light and Form

This image is all about the light and form, certainly, but that said, I can't help thinking about the ladder. More to the point, there's no way in hell I'd want to be the person who had to climb up that thing. While I love these grain elevators, with gas so expensive, I can't really imagine driving across the country to photograph a bunch of them. It's kinda been done anyway...

Sorry, but you'll need to look at the larger image to see it without moire...

Typology of rot

I think my son fully intended to use these logs for a woodworking project of some sort, but it seems that nature had other ideas. The rotting process has proceeded much more quickly than expected due to the constant rain around here. I'm no wood worker, so who knows, these logs may be like hunks of cheese where the ripe bits can simply be trimmed off. At any rate, does presenting a series of images in a typological grid still make sense? Is it an invitation to 'look longer', a hackneyed technique, or a misguided assertion of some kind of universality? Something to consider, but in the context of a study like this, I think it works.
