Artist's Comments

I have a brother-in-law who maintains a miniature steam engine, and one day last year he took the thing apart and repainted all the parts and hung them up to dry.

I thing all things mechanical have a unique beauty to them, so I thought I'd try to capture some of that with my limited photography skills and crappy digital camera, with the intent on printing & framing them for some cheap art for said BIL's newly remodeled bedroom.

Anyways, I happened upon these pictures on my hard drive and still liked them, so I thought I'd post them here to give my gallery a little variety!

I overly aggree that machines have an odd beauty to them. I've always loved clocks with exposed gears, it's hypnotising to watch them turn one way and then another over and over again. I think there are more than a small crowd of people that think the same way, or else Steam Punk would never have come into existence.

This is a great photo! I'm a terrible sucker for things like these. Though it might just be me, but this would look striking in straight black and white.

I should have tried B&W! Those gears were painted a bright green. So when I did this, I was thinking about the colors of his room, brown & blue, so I choose sepia. I might actually go back and mess with them again now.
