Coiled and Barbed

Fences play a big role in the American West. As vast as it is finding unfenced land is rare. Often coils of wire are left behind for the next repair. Here the coil, the barb wire fence and the shadow on the snow create an elegant winter design. Did you know that barb wire comes in dozens if not hundreds of styles and patterns so distinctive that an expert can tell what ranch employs a given style? Just a little Americana from the old sage of the high desert.
As an ardent student of photography and devotee of the classic black and white photographs by the mid-century masters I practice the medium with an eye toward graceful design. I view each frame as a discreet design project with the objectives of elegance, balance and precision. More images may be seen at www.steveimmelphotography.com.

- As an ardent student of the mid-century masters I practice photography with the objectives of graceful design, acuity, tonal range and craft. I print full frame as originally composed in the viewfinder. I have had dozens of exhibitions across the United States, in Canada and Europe. My work is represented by Wilder Nightingale Fine Art in Taos and the Taos Historic Museums.

Beautiful image. I especially like the way the horizontal wire is placed near the bottom and contrasts with the arch
Thanks buddy. I like the low horizontal, too. Now I have to edit the narrative. Missed a question mark.
