The Picture Is A Fact

[TByrne]

Didn't know where to post this. You? The covered bridge sits just outside of the City of Lancaster. We have a bunch of them in the county. Lovely things, eh? And then there's the New York taxi. Hmmmm... Okay... okay... I imagined him plucked out of the crunch of the big city to careen about the county's back roads. What could be more bucolic than a covered bridge or more urban than a fat yellow cab?

Which one is lost? Out of place? The cab? The bridge? Or... me?

What this is about, if that's what you're wondering... is what America's going through just now. The city's come through the rural bridges. Now what that means, will mean...

Click here to join me wondering about the photograph as a fact. (http://imagefiction.blogspot.com/) But stay here to ponder whether this image is much different... and probable... than say a polar bear in church? Have things now forever changed? Or will the taxis go back home :-?

Interesting, think it belongs in the Still Life, B/W & Experimental (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=31)

This isn't about fear... Lilr... Nope... think 'Hope'.

Ted, Where exactly are you from in Lancaster? I live in Lancaster as well and know that bridge very well.

Afterthought: I kind of like the effect, but it's not something I'd use often, sort of like this one. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/PhotosGuy/Kelly%20proofs/Kelly-RGBgrain_9_50.jpg?t=1238860780)
I like how it works on this image. (http://homepage.mac.com/byrneprintmaker/.Pictures/LancasterCityGallery/rocco_fall_srgb_tex.jpg) Do you sell many images using it?

Looks similar to the bridge used in the movie Funny Farm with Chevy Chase.

Didn't want to ghetto-ize it Kilr. I guess I could have made an argument for a lot of categories, but it is not B&W, nor is it experimental... this is what composite imaging makings about these days... sooooo.... ;)

Actually the style evolved to meet the idea which came to me first. Most all of my image making... um, well a lot of it... is conceptually based and I work at opening up that idea or feeling with technique. I've got this pesky nagging voice that says, "Ted, if it's not about something more than photography - it ain't art." And since I'm a fine artist who works in photo based compositing... What happens is what happens. As to sales?

I do pretty well. But not with any one technique, although there is an interest just now in texturing. Gotta be careful though, it can get cliché-ed reeeeeeeel fast. Y'know?

Thanks for your interest.

These bridges are all about Lancaster County... we still have miles and miles of country roads.
