    Thank you RM. I appreciate your time to look and comment. I appreciate the complement. One photographer that has inspired and influenced me more than others is Stephen Shore. Not putting myself up with him but just saying he does a lot of this type of photography and his work has inspired me to try capture such like images when I see them. But i know he isn't the only one so you could be thinking of someone like him. Thank you again.

    All great American photographs have one thing in common: power lines. This is not, strictly speaking, true. But it often feels true, especially when you look at street photography. Electricity tends to follow our roadways, just like documentary photographers. So power lines inevitably appear in their pictures. And the way an individual photographer confronts them can illuminate his style of seeing. You can observe Walker Evans’s mastery with the camera, for instance, in his treatment of power lines. He admitted them into photographs not, like most of us, by unhappy necessity, but with formal artistic intention. No one was better at it than he was—except for maybe Stephen Shore. by Ben Crair in the New Republic from an article on Steven Shore.

    I like the composition, it shows how our lives are cluttered with so much chaos and contradiction - all those power lines and not that many lights on.
    " A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. " Irving Penn

    " There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." - Ansel Adams

    Thank you Ed. I like the clipping from the article. thanks for sharing this. I admire Stephen Shore's work quite a bit. I've taken a few intentional power line shots.
