Ever since its invention, there has been a debate over whether photography is a “real” art form. I agree that some genres of photography can tend more toward record keeping (scientific, insurance, etc), and there is a strong craft[1] component to photography, and many photographers are quite insecure, but sometimes things come together and the final image is more then the sum of its parts….
This is a very old image, in fact it was shot on film[2], but it is still one of my favourites just because of the whimsy.
PS. If you need to know, it is an old hand winch off of a barge or something. I found it at the side of a path and knew I had to shoot it….
