I have always found a sort of beauty in roads, the line, the shape, the sometimes striking opposition to surrounding landscapes, as a formal element i find them quit nice to look at.

I have recently fount the urban landscape to be something of interest to me, it poses all kinds  of new ideas about humanity and and the overarching human condition. This photo i feel also speaks to that situation, about what a city is metaphorically more that a physical place.

I chose this photo for two reasons, first i like the black and white grid, second I have always likes work taken with unexpected equipment, or shall i say non "professional" Equipment.

This house is on my way to work and school, i find it interesting and lost in time, it now is property of the Colorado Historic Society. I stopped to photography it today and decided to jump the fence, the opportunity for a photo was well beyond the fear of trespassing charges.

 

This is also a photo from that house, this one of the entryway door, the house is elegant in its simple with a very square looking exterior, i would like to gain access to the inside some day.

 

I think I like the meaning behind this work, to overcome things that some times overwhelm you, the toy pulling the gigantic horse. I also like the composition and movement in the work.
