Strength Revealed: The End
The following completes the story I started on May 25, Strength Revealed.
One reinforced cement section delivered to site…
I don’t know the actual weight, but it required 2 cranes to cradle this section into position…
Steel cables, hook, pulleys, etc.
One crane just barely…barely…cleared the overhang of the first parking deck…

Selectivity #2
Seeking Selectivity
There’s an ageless argument in photography involving 2 camps, one staunchly defending B&W as “more real” than color images, and of course vice-versa. Who’s right? Or wrong?
My take on this may seem like a cop-out, but choosing one over the other because it’s “more real” doesn’t resonate with me. The interpretation of any photograph is highly personal, so regardless of an image presented in B&W or color–or combinations of both–what you feel makes the image real.
Some days, I see and feel things that tell me to shoot B&W. Similarly, it goes the other direction where my sensitivities lean to color, even one particular color.
Yet these images can confound the entire argument because of my resolute commitment to personally see or find things that prompts a connection. Are these photographs less real because of my choice in isolating or selecting an object, shape, color or theme?
Same Time Zone-Alternate Realities
New York City. A fantastic place that involves all your senses.
Fort Myers, FL. This second image is taken further south, about 1,250 miles [2,012 km] away. Here’s a destination where the senses aren’t always engaged. Let’s just say “relaxed” is a more fitting adjective. Finally, both photos were taken approximately around the same time of day: late afternoon.
