very cool capture Harry, like that elongated shadow
Genre ... shadow stuff, object gas meter
Cool piece my friend, another excellent capture!
Very good, and it looks like an alien.
Interesting shadow play. Very well seen and captured.
I want to start this session with this image because I think it's just beautiful. And I want to issue a warrant-of-arrest to the photography gallery for 5 sole comments when it deserved several pages. I'm late, but it hit me over the head when I first saw it, and I intended to make it my first comment when I returned. Harry, this is just beautiful. On the surface, it's just a meter w/ wall, shadows and clump of ground with stray grasses. But your tones and textures, oh my: the deep early-morning ambers and beiges, the bleached light, the textures in the wall (with what has become your signature shadows in these rough-hewn walls and sidewalks), the attention to the 'events' across the shot---like the crack to the meter's right, the beautiful crack right up the center, the vent, the oceans of shadow across the grass---these all make for a truly poetic vision. And of such a pedestrian object to boot. This is the essence of fine photography, ie, to be so sensitive to the poetry and music of a simple overlooked thing like a meter. It's what we're supposed to be doing. Look, even the glass/plastic window on the meter has a semi transparent look, which you caught so clearly. And the long stretch of shadow on the wall is truly dramatic, which is significant because it stretches out in a mere section of a wall. "The world in a grain of sand..." This is a masterful piece, and it's what we're all doing this art for in the first place. A comment and fav isn't sufficient, and late too; but this is a testament to what you do here, and it's truly beautiful.
