Fading Fast
Floral is a small community - actually now just a railroad siding - southeast of Saskatoon best known as the birthplace of Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe. Ten years ago the grain elevator, marked with the now defunct Saskatchewan Wheat Pool emblem, stood on a railroad siding and was actually in use buying grain from local farmers. Since then the railroad line is gone, the elevator has been removed and the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool has morphed into something quite different. For all of these reasons I call this image "fading fast".
This was actually one of the first images I shot with my newly acquired Canon D30, my first DSRL back in 2001. The original color image has nowhere the same impact as this converted black and white etching. I don't do much of this artistic filter work, but in this instance I am very pleased how this worked out. I think that any image that you are still happy with after looking at it for ten years can't be that bad!
