“Chains and Bridge” – love it! What a powerful composition, perfectly put together. The Sam Able quote is so generous in spirit, don’t you think? That’s refreshing.
The Haas quote, by contrast, is quite tough, but it’s a good counterpart to Able’s quote. The foreshortening in the first photo – “Fogust” that makes sense! – is very effective at throwing everything off just the right amount to make it interesting, I think. It’s good to keep returning to a subject the way you do, Jane. Hope you’re having a great week!
