All This Beautiful Mess.

As a photographer, everyone has their own personal style, or imagery that kind of becomes their signature work. It's been pointed out to me, and I'm well aware of the fact, that I like the old, dilapidated, broken, and not always most pleasant scenery. I guess what I love about it - is that despite the fact there is a huge mess or a big hole in a roof in a building, or rust on an old tank track, is that there's something interesting to it. It has a story. As I took the photo for this inspired art piece - and almost got tetanus from a rusty nail on a board I missed by two inches - I saw history. Where is all this stuff from? What was it a part of? Who built it? Who tore it down? And why didn't they clean it up? It makes the very plain ground that it beneath this mess more interesting. I guess when it comes to photo's - anyone can take a picture of a beautiful island, or a beautiful sunset and it becomes a beautiful picture. But when you can try to capture something interesting about stuff that is just an eye sore, in a new light, it makes it a challenge. Why do I like this stuff? I really don't know. Maybe it's the perspective of that shot to make it appealing, or maybe it’s a reflection of how I see the world. There is beauty in all things, in all details, in all people - no matter how mundane, bad, good or indifferent they are. I hope you enjoy this new art piece!

I appreciate the unique perspective on finding beauty and history in unexpected places.
