“This is the same problem I have with digital photography. The potential is always remarkable. But the medium never settles. Each year there is a better camera to buy and new software to download. The user never has time to become comfortable with the tool. Consequently too much of the work is merely about the technology. The HDR and QTVR fads are good examples. Instead of focusing on the subject, users obsess over RAW conversion, Photoshop plug-ins, and on and on. For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter.”

I think there is enough content and angles to create an interesting shot. But the photo is not gripping, it does not inspire further thought. The bike rack provides nice squares to line up and frame the leaning bicycle, and the nice round tire. There is even a tree and a lamppost in the background to help frame and draw parallel lines. So what have I learned? I wonder if the bike is still there? time for a reshoot.
On a street downtown there is a old tree that looks like driftwood. But there is no lake for miles. So the deadfall tree is art. Someone dragged a huge tree for miles and dumped it on a empty lot.
This was taken with a Hasselblad 501c on Kodak Portra 800.
