little light leak in the corner there

These are ballpark light poles, but still, same vibe. There are so striking to me.

Honestly though there's something so awe inspiring about electrical lines, every time I work on a ROW for those massive ones where you can hear the electricity crackle above you as you wander beneath it's lightning highway strands I feel a bit like im in the presence of a minor god. I can't help but wonder if 1000 years if society collapsed today, what the future people would make of our massive networks or wire and steel.

I took so many photos at Norris Dam when I visited there.

Some of the power lines around here are huge.

trying to come up with names for this series of images, or like a zine title.

Right now thinking The Electric System.

Inspired by @wizardhecker posting about power lines, I thought I'd get back to this blog to post some of my favorites that I've taken.

I live in East TN, which is DAM country. There are power lines running everywhere.

Seven Islands Birding Park

I forget what camera I was using. Maybe the Pentax spotmatic? It was SO bright out, and I barely understood how aperture and film speed and shutter speed worked.

I liked how this power pole looked, and I think it started a series for me of taking photos of power poles. I have like 10 photos that fit that theme.

kodak retina iiic, fuji400 film, Knoxville zoo

I think this elephant is no longer at the zoo. I want to say that it was the largest elephant in the US at one point in time, but I am not sure. That could have been a different elephant in this same zoo.

This is one of the first photos I took myself using my own camera.
