Sometimes I’m not sure. Sometimes I feel less confident in my work, that I feel things aren’t quite up to par. Lately, that’s been the reason I haven’t been posting new art but for sporadically. I’m dissatisfied with my concert photography, and I’m dissatisfied with my urban photography. I think I’m in a slump.

But this is the picture I took lately that I dislike the least. Sure, the power lines obscure the buildings, but there’s lots of little lines to follow, elements and textures moving around in the image. It’s an image people participate in, that people built.

And I suppose the juxtaposition between the closer and smaller industrial area at the front, and the monolithic city with the glow in the back, is nice.

Sorry I’ve gone a bit without submitting work. I will try to do better.

I personally love power lines. They show the world as we've made it, and even nature photos if there is a power line I try and work with them instead of avoid them. Here is one of my favorite pics I've taken of a

Double Rainbow

I consider that to be a rainbow picture despite power lines taking up half the real estate. Now you've got me wanting to post power line pictures

And to double down on what a previous comment said, Lemmy is better with your photos and it always brings me joy seeing your work
