This week's assignment over at Minna's webiste was to capture motion. I have a lot of motion shots of Reilly--few of which are intentional--due to the fact that our daughter never ceases to move. (No, not even in her sleep.) However, I wanted to actually go in search of motion, and so I carried my camera a lot this week.
One opportunity arose when I visited the Book Arts Studio at my work. Every Tuesday morning, a professor, his colleagues, and other book-minded people gather to make printed works using old printing presses. This week, he was using a Vandercook press to print some invitations for an upcoming event.
It took me awhile to get the photograph I've posted below, and to be honest, it really doesn't capture the horizonal movement of the press, but you can only take so many photos before wearing out your welcome.
Here is about 25% of the press, with the rollers and gears:

Here is a shot of just the rollers:
That must have been fun to be there. I would've enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that even though the motion isn't overt, it's implied by the circular shapes.
I like the abstract nature of the second photo.
