Inspired by my failed cookie photo a few days ago, I was on the lookout for a good metallic subject for a photo. This was shot in Garfield Park near my work. It’s a water fountain (if you couldn’t tell). I liked the muted colors, and the juxtaposition of the circle on the squares. The composition, I just noticed, is VERY similar to the cookie photo. But I think this works much better.
I’m not sure I’d drink outta that thing, though. In recent news, Hamilton (my home and subject of many posts) made headlines this week for having the best tasting tap water in the country. One more thing that makes Hamabama awesome. I hate the idea of bottled water, and I’ve listened to hundreds of reports telling us that most of our country has really high quality tap water. Following this line of logic, you would think that I would like public water fountains. But they sort of scare me. Germs, birds… yuck. I’m a total hypocrite, I know.
love you stuff. awesome art!
Thanks.
Yes. The cookie photo. The similarities were the first thing to come to mind. I think the brain and eyes like patterns and formulas. It might be the same reason that I find myself in the turn lane to go left on Race as if I’m going to work, but want to be in the right lane to turn right on Glenway and go to PetSmart. We walked through this park yesterday to get to one of the Canned displays. And I’ve been in the park thousands of times and have no recollection of ever getting a drink of water – for the same reason you would pass. In fact, I have no recollection of seeing a drinking fountain.
