A few minutes ago, this image came up in rotation on my screen saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed it two weeks ago while on a bridge inspection with Wayne Duffett of the Ellis River truss at Glen, New Hampshire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflections of the sun in the Ellis diffused by clouds bisected with the lattice girder bottom lateral brace of the bridge reminded me of a Minor White black & white print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White, famous for his exquisite black & white technique expanded upon the concept of equivalence as delineated by his teacher Alfred Stieglitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his later year years White taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology. A decade after White’s death, I studied photography at RIT, and among my professors was Owen Butler, himself a student of White’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My photo is both a bridge and of a bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I offer two interpretations of the same digital image. One features lower contrast and superior highlight detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
