Perspective

1. You do have that photographer’s eye Jonathan! Take the simple and common place, realize that it isn’t so common – and preserve it! If you ever visit Robert Avrech’s site, seraphicpress.com – he is a Hollywood screenwriter who, in addition to telling us stories of classic Hollywood , will stroll around his neighborhood – taking similar photographs in hi LA neighborhood.

   If for some way you could put these in a time capsule – as the 100 year old pictures of London – you will be considered an unrecognized genius in your time!

2. We take for granted the beauty of those great cloverleafs and arcs supporting layers of concrete – it’s neat to see them “foregrounded” – I guess within our every day lives is a lot of strength & beauty we ignore.

3. I’ve got one or two nice pictures of concrete pillars and overpasses myself – and some interesting chances to take some more, as they are just now constructing a proper interchange where a main highway to the north intersects the outside ‘ring road’. The city builders and movers of San Antonio always seemed to come to these things decades late … and the resulting redesign and construction obstructs traffic for at least half a decade. But my, isn’t it wonderful when it is done!

4. Jonathan – with your love of Florida photography I’ll bet you would find his book fascinating. A Wall Street financier, A.W. Dimock, went to an “un-travelled” area of the Everglades in 1910 – had a 37 foot houseboat and darkroom – made some remarkable pictures of the Seminole – there is a book review with some of the pictures
