Farm Frames.
I loved the sweet repetition of gorgeous farms of all sorts, in parts of every state.
Some of the images yielded by five weeks and six thousand miles’ worth of rambling cross-country seemed to want expression in my old favorite black and white imagery. And, not coincidentally, this set particularly showcases my obsessions with seeing patterns, repetition and commonalities.
Towers
Monolithic bare trees and sculptural bridges seemingly imitate each other.
Twisted Trees
Driftwood. A helical trunk amid Douglas-fir and vine maple companions.
AmeriCars the Beautiful
Car culture in the US may have long grown old, but it hasn’t stopped being a classic.
Boarded Up
Fruit growers’ packing crates. A burned house.
Shake Your Tailfeathers
Hawk? Maybe. Mallard, definitely.
Sunday School
The old shed behind the parsonage, the inner workings of a portative organ, and a vintage church.
God is in the Details
Small stuff, large impact.
Radii
Spokes that speak for themselves.
Elephants
An older model pachyderm and an older model Packard? (Nah, I think it was a Rolls.)
Strange Geometries
The wonder of a weird homemade aerial and the magic of a zebra.
