Heroes Not Zombies

What caught my eye was the blue. This is a good example of how a camera lets you see more than your casual, passing glances do.

I can look at these images for a long time. The more I look at them, the more I see. I love the shapes, the colours, the rusty flakes, the age of the wheel, it’s markings and its worn-ness (is there such a word?).

There’s a word we don’t use very much any more – patina. It’s a lovely word, and a lovely concept……the beauty of the surface of things created by simply having existed in this world for a long time. It provokes thoughts about the connections between human beings and nature, between the manufactured and the weathered, about transience and the ever-changing nature of reality.
