Winter of 73 and the rectangle was beginning to take shape in my mind. Themes that still occupy my creative exploits were emerging. Simplicity, is perhaps the hardest concept to grasp. Now 34 years later I still seek it in my images. I work front end composition. Un cropped [this is] everything in the image I put there. Positioning the subject in the negative space so your attention is drawn there, by triangles in the foreground road I am standing on leading to the road the truck is on and the ultra white field on the backside all point to the logging truck. Small business a current theme is represented here also. The only difference is that side road I am standing on waiting for the truck to chug into it’s moment is probably 10 to 20 below zero and you would be hard pressed to find me standing in that cold. LOL! But hey you never know. enjoy pjc

With great interest I read your description of front end composition. I love this concept. and the composition you thought and got is great! So, you wouldn’t go out into the cold anymore to get that shot:)….I don’t believe you!

Perhaps I would? But later winter has been hibernation. Gray snow, freezing rain and poorly maintained side walks. But the Country of Vermont could inspire me? enjoy pjc
