Photograph

Autumn in Albuquerque, digital photo

Thank you M for inspiring me to take some photos. I enjoy your photos a great deal.  Often driving around town on errands, something sticks in my eye, and I say to myself, “I wish I had my camera with me.” I’ve started taking it with me more often. There is a downside though. I’m not a very attentive driver to start with (that is, attentive to the traffic), so I have to be careful.  The interstices or peripherals are what draw my eye, the view that is not a noun or subject, but more like an adverb modifying an adjective.

The etched glass panels have been installed at the downtown Albuquerque Rail Runner Express station. There are four panels for this installation and not six as for the eight other stations. For this site I used two sets of wheels, steam locomotive drive wheels and wagon wheels. I used the positive and negative images for each pair. At the time of the photo, the station walls had not been stuccoed nor the handrails fully installed. The blue tape is left from installation of the stainless steel frames for the glass. Compare these photos with my simulation entered Tuesday, June 20, 2006.
