There are some images that don't quite make it as a "complete" photograph. The photographer Minor White, who I was incredibly lucky to study with for 3 years while I was at RIT, referred to those images as "fragments." I think that it is really useful concept to be aware of. Sometimes when I am struggling to make a photograph after seeing something that interests me, I realize that it will never be a complete photograph, but it can be an interesting fragment. I think that this shadow of an ornate railing in an old mansion falls into this category. It's nice, and I thought it was worth taking.
ooh cool. it looks like a work of art, next to the horse. but this work of art will pass when the sun does. I love it.
