Indexer II 05 by Kenneth Snelson DP074-2013. Posted March 15; processed ditto. One of the joys of seeing large sculptures in outdoor settings is being able to view the works with different backdrops, interacting as it were with those settings. That can also be one of the banes for a photographer if there are few if any good views that aren't hopelessly cluttered with extraneous stuff. That is the case with this sculpture. It was hard to find a composition in which the sculpture broke free from the trees, yet was still set against an interesting background of buildings. This, to my mind, is a kind of compromise. The view is toward the north, past the emptied reflecting pool, toward the Lurie Engineering Center. North Campus, University of Michigan Ann Arbor March 10, 2013 FYI, if you're a fan on works like this by Snelson, check out my gallery of his similar but much larger and more elaborate sculpture, B-Tree II, here: http://arctangent.smugmug.com/Art/B-Tree-II-Steel-Sculpture/15648994_F6MqsJ . It's one of my favorite works at Meijer Gardens both to see and to photograph. Eventually this one, Indexer II, will have its own gallery as well.
14.03.13 - Look, Lights........... I took this last night at dusk on my way to my guided photo walk. Walking through Temple Gardens I looked back and saw the traffic gridlocked on the main drag through town. Although only a hundred yards away it seemed like another world, from where I was surrounded by greenery and sculptures. I noticed a nice juxtaposition between the hand on the sculture appearing to point to the lights, so played around a bit with different set ups. This was hand held at 1/10th of a second, but I was leaning on part of the sculpture for support, and I like how t turned out. My son has gone back to school today, so I hope to catch up on some commenting and the editing backlog that has built up :)
