Compared to a can of soup you have a winner and the possibities are endless. Best of luck | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,061 | Absolutely. I was mobbed by some photograpers at a small local show and they wanted to take pictures of the rusted areas on my panel truck. Fortunately, there was enough rust for everybody.

Better yet, watch an industrial side-shaft engine run. It's like a swiss watch, all made in a dirt factory floor with poor lighting and crude machine tools.
Yeah, engines CAN be art.

There is long established "schools" of art that celebrate industrial imagery. No question, and
keep going. I build performing arts rigging around the country and often, in large construction projects, I take pics of machinery and guys working, etc. Art celebrates
living. Good for you to recognize this. LevisPop
