Artist's Description
A hundred years ago the Fox River in northern Illinois was a major source of power for local manufacturers. Water was diverted from the river via sluices and ran turbines that generated power to the plants. The flow of the water was controlled with gates that were lifted up and down. While this technology has long been abandoned, there are a few relics left behind such as the gears in this image which were part of the lift mechanism. Now rusted and covered with organic material they make a unique abstract that can remind us of days gone by.
About Ira Marcus
The origin of my name means watchful or observant. I always thought that was appropriate for someone who likes to make images from what he sees. I started with photography when I was about 11 years old after receiving a hand-me-down Brownie box camera. My approach toward photography is to stop and smell the roses. It is a simplistic adage, but rings true to how I create images. I slow down and stop to see beauty in everyday objects and the natural world, and use the magic of photography to share my vision with others. While I don't expect others to necessarily see the same thing that I saw while making my photographs, my goal is that my images will evoke a special feeling, mood, or emotion for the viewer. Thank you for looking at my work....
