Crane Shot, Austin, Texas

A recurring theme in my photographic work is the crane shot.  As I've stated before, in photography, the crane shot is usually thought of as the mounting of a camera on a crane to capture an image.  However, to me, the crane shot is a photograph of the crane itself.  The crane is a temporal modern marvel, the ultimate in tool design, a graceful reach into the sky to effect change.  Now you see it, now you don't.  It is rare to see multiple cranes in one image, this is, more than two.  In the image above, taken in (growing) Austin, Texas, I am counting five, with a possible sixth in view.
