the aesthetics of decay II
I brought my digital camera with me on this trip, and have been taking a lot of photos, some of which I will post when I finally return to Chicago.
Part of the fun of having a digital camera is that you can collect images freely, without having to worry about the expense of developing them. As a result, I've been indulging my interest in the aesthetics of decay by collecting a lot of close-ups of corrosion patterns on metal: old rusted storage tanks in Texas, a patina'd bell in Tucson, etc.
I've also wanted to take a picture of every single roadkill I have driven past (a lot of raccoons in that mix), but it's hard to brake for a dead animal when you're traveling past it at 85 mph. So that photo essay will need to wait for another time, as will my "Vernacular Signage of the Southwest" one. |
