Vision
I used to wonder if I should edit out wires in my photos, so I asked on 365. Most people said to leave them as they are part of the landscape. In this series of paintings by New Orleans artist Willie Burch, wires have levels of meaning. According to the commentary, the birds on the wires represent musical notes and the lines and poles form crosses, both attempts to communicate with God. Agree or not, I won't be so annoyed next times wires "ruin" my photo.
Sometimes I take the picture because of the wires and the patterns they make. Sometimes I clone one or two out- it just depends on the photo and if they add to it or take away from the subject. Here, they are the subject and I like the way the artist has interpreted them too.
