CHALLENGE(s):Influence/BW
Trespass
January 18

Kingston Springs, TN

As a tribute to two of my "muses" (Roe and Jude), I offer this image of ruin for
their influence in finding the beauty and interest in rural and urban decline.

Not your normal style of subject Scott but it should be added to your list!..brilliant!
jude18-Jan-2007 17:55
Well, you KNOW I love this.. I clicked on it eager to comment only to see Roe's and my name.. :D
I like how the shattered glass leads us into a mystery - caused by blur and forms we try to glean.
Thanks for the smile..
Victoria18-Jan-2007 17:43
Marvelous

Very well done. I like it a lot. voted
royalld18-Jan-2007 16:45
The ability to find beauty in any environment is almost a science. A science that is lost to many of us.
Great tribute Scott.
Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography18-Jan-2007 16:41
Nice play of light and dof.
Coleen Perilloux Landry18-Jan-2007 16:39
The photo is a challenge in itself.

Spooky!!!
Guest 18-Jan-2007 16:32
Such a brilliant use of monochrome,Scott!
Bob Floyd18-Jan-2007 16:30
Bev had the same thought I did...sinister. In fact, my first thought was Hitchcock, however, I definitly see the influence of Jude and Roe here. Nicely done, sir!
beverley harrison18-Jan-2007 16:18
it has a sinister feel to it too scott!!
LM Gildersleeve18-Jan-2007 16:11
I love this image. This abstract has mystery without being confusing. The mirror(?) is an interesting artifact in the telling of the story.
