Description
This late summer image is a re-shoot of the same antique harvesting reaper.....("Relic Reaper",...also on this site),... that I originally photographed two years ago in a winter landscape.
I love subjects that are rustic, abandoned, neglected or just plain dilapidated,..those subjects convey emotions nostalgically from a past time and place,....Thru readily apparent ramshackle decay such subjects often exhibit strong textures of weathered wood, peeling paint or crumbling rust that the eye of the viewer can visually feel as if touching it.
One of the things you might see throughout rural Maine back roads and byways are the long forgotten relics and rusted hulks of a previous generations prosperous times,...now forgotten to time or obsoleted by technical mechanized innovations.,...antique tractors, farm equipment once pulled by horses, wooden wagons, early model cars and more,...left abandoned maybe in an overgrown pasture over run with high grass or concealed by emerging saplings, cast aside in a crumpling barn,...collapsed shed or maybe just left abandoned where it now lies.
In that sense, we photographers are sometimes unknowingly historians capturing the last fleeting images of subjects now lost to obscurity.
Thank you for viewing my work.
