new look at an old landmark

Lately I have been laboring over selecting groups of images and organizing them for a website to be launched later this summer. At the same time, I have been taking online courses from The Compelling Image from David Bathgate, the founder and a working photojournalist based in Germany.

This time around I am working to develop more mastery with the wide angle lens. There is something intriguing for me in the way this lens bends reality and offers fresh ways to look at ordinary things. The image here is an extreme close shot with a very wide angle of a beloved landmark, the old gas pump on Juarez near Plaza Civica.
