Photo of a silver fire hydrant and red window
The Old and the New
Corner of Franklin St & Main Ave., Tucson, AZ
f/7.1 – 1/40 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 18 mm

A simple everyday fire hydrant may not seem like a good photograph subject.  But I think it is all in how you look at it.  To me, photography is all about seeing things differently.  Not as everyday objects, but as photographic subjects.  So when I see a fire hydrant I think about how it might look from a less than ordinary perspective (such as from down below).  In this particular image I like the unique perspective as well as how the “newness” of the hydrant plays against the historic adobe building.
