Goodrich River Delta
On a trip to Cape May back in April, I did a double-take as I passed through Elmer, NJ. Doubling back a few hundred yards later, I stopped in front of Fred Harz & Son, a full-service tire dealer.
Mr. Harz and progeny must have known a crazy photographer would be passing through that Saturday, as they had a neat stack of imposing, giant tires, treads nicely whitewashed, in front of their place. The old black tires, whitewashed stripes, and strong midday sun cried out for some photo-fun. I got several good views of parts of the stack, all with my pocket-sized Canon S90, and I'll put up some of the others over the next few blog posts.
Meanwhile, here's my favorite. The zigzagging channels reminded me of a river delta, hence the title of this post.
For those who are wondering, here's the "civilian" view of what I was shooting at.

A very bold abstract image, and it works nicely as a B&W pic. :)
It has the SteveR "look".

Steve,
When I first looked at the picture, I thought that the tire was on top of the camera.

Great abstract Steve, I agree on your choice of B&W to emphasize the contrast in the image.
