Since many of my friends are artists, it is not uncommon to hear about the poor mans copyright.

Here is something you might find enlightening if you choose to use it.The Poor Mans Copyright or How to Be Blissfully Secure in Ignorance.

Thoughts, as always, are welcome.

Over

This water fall of metal, going over the edge reminds me of how many times in life we have gone over the edge. Sometimes trying out new things. Sometimes getting in trouble. Sometimes just to see what is on the other side, over the edge.

This orange, pink, and blue abstract photo of a burned out building, the folds of metal speak to me
What does it say to you? Can you describe what you see in just one word?

Fire Brewed

Fire does many things. We do not consider that fire can create art. Fire is used to create art but fire actually creating art. Although this is some what dark, consider that the fire created it.

Cheers.

The Ring: Sculpted by the Fire

The amazing sculpting abilities of fire can be observed in the 6 foot diameter ring it made. Often times things sculpted from and by the world and elements around us produce dynamic effects. This was a truss, the steel that held the roof of the building up. Now, as if bent into a giant ring, much as one might with a piece of aluminum foil. Just a trinket for the fire.

Fire, you got to admire it at the same time that you fear it.

Motor Dead

What becomes of old electric motors? Did these just crawl off to die? What kind of life did they lead? Did they make something that we use today?

Have you ever thought how we throw away things, letting them die? Do we do the same with relationships, friendships, and even people we know. Or do we recycle, even if the recycling is in our thoughts, as these pictures are of the motors, only an abstraction?

Also Twisted

What amazes me about the series of photos of the burned out building is the sculpture created by the fire.
It is almost as if the fire along with other forces were at work creating at the same time as they were destroying. The end result, of course, is in the eye of the beholder.

Alum Rising

Seeing this as the picture was being taken, the thought occurred to me, what if it could come to life on its own. What if it was trying to unfold and rise into the glorious formation it once possessed. But it is just aluminum. Aluminum rising, perhaps.

Do you see anything when you see it? Please post a comment.
