Primary Colors, Salt River Canyon, Arizona, 2014

I abstract the huge bridge over the canyon by framing only parts of its red steel girders. I positioned the largest beam as a powerful diagonal running from corner to corner. The two smaller beams offer context. I designed this image to contrast the red steel to the rich blue water of the river running below it. Red and blue are primary colors, and when seen in combination, the effect defines power and energy.
