Fishing net, Acre, Israel, 2011

Fishing net, Acre, Israel, 2011

The well worn, rusting blue metal door along Acre’s harbor provides a handy hanging spot for a green and purple fishing net with red floats. I liked the rhythmic repetition of the inverted “V” door braces flanking the triangular mass of net on both the top and bottom. The colors of the net vividly contrast to a fading torn poster featuring what once was a view of Acre’s harbor.

The triangles at the top and bottom of the image bring the eye nicely into the center.

Thank you, Carol, for those words. Others created the stuff of this image -- the bobs, the nets, the poster, the door. Nature came along and added its patina -- the rust, the wear and tear. All I did was to be able and ready to recognize what it all meant, isolate it in space, and make this photograph. I guess that is what a "found image" means.

What an amazing, colorful image!
At first glance before reading your caption, I thought this would be a scene of holiday party favors hung nonchalantly on the worn, rusted old landscape image in the poster. The colors resemble that of holiday colors...
The fishing bobs look much newer, as do the nets. I like the contrast of old and new here. Lighting could not have been better for this image, soft and bright on the fishing nets.
