Power Poles

I took the first power pole while tracing my childhood memories with my grandfather. The relationship I have with my grandparents is very powerful to me. My grandfather George installed telephone poles all across New Mexico for the majority his working adult life. He was a crafty guy always working on something to make money every time I got to see him. When I look at these poles now I think how hard he worked and how beautiful they are. The graphic contrast from highlight to shadow from the direct sun highlights the beauty. No two poles are identical even photographing the same pole from all four sides. They all have their own identity and story.
