Found a whole row of these things after seeing the Friedlander Retrospective in Cleveland. He might have influenced the photograph a tad... =)

Influenced by Friedlander? Then how come you got out of your car?
 
Thanks, john. :smile:

"Why did I get out of the car?" Probably the same reason you did. I couldn't sit down after that Indian feast we'd just gorged ourselves on.
 
Yeah, friedlander is so good he doesn't even have to get out of the car. or, in the case of his stems series, out of bed.

I love the Medusa's head and the off center trunk in just the right place (and I know it isn't because you are afraid to center things) and the two cut branch ends in just the right place . . .the back ground trees breaking up the sky just right . . . so good.
 
Thanks, Rich. Yeah, did the back and forth dance with the tripod a few times but eventually everything just seemed to fall together.
