fetish explained

i am in photographic heaven right now. i have a new camera and an assignment that i have always hoped i would have the chance to do. i have one friend here who gets it and i wish he could hang out with me when i go on site but he got a real job and has to wear pressed shirts and be on time and whatever. The place is an old (like 100 years?) 10-acre industrial site. that is about to come down early next year. i am photographing the life out of that entire place and it makes me so happy. I'll share a few more pics but then we have to move on...its not the ONLY thing i do, you know!


NOTE re FETISH I+II
[ps the pics below are of these tall vertical strips of plastic curtains that hang over the entrances to some of the assembly buildings... the trucks have battered the curtains to death over many years. these are just two pictures i took when the sun was coming thru them. they remind me of rauschenberg. i am standing inside one of the giant buldings where they assembled giant iron works to make america stronger. i call it fetish because i am probably the only one who thinks these two pictures are really beautiful. ]
