Water tower and telegraph pole at sunset, Louisville, TN

Monday, July 27th, 2009 | A&E, Photos |

I remembered this shot after following Jason Kottke’s link to the work of Brend and Hilla Becher. The couple photographed industrial equipment as art, devoting entire books to a single subject, such as water towers or grain elevators. The Bechers used black and white film because of the era in which they did most of their work, but these sorts of pictures cry out for black and white even when color is available.

What a great shot! It just makes me want to sip on a cup of coffee in the morning on my front porch and see that

I stumbled upon your blog while doing research about the eastern TN area. I am thinking of relocating to Chattanooga next year.

Have a great day.
