July Digest(ed) #2: Photography

1: 'Drawing'

Recently found whilst pottering down a local country lane (the appropriately so-called 'Straight Mile'), two instances of 'drawing' - of an intriguingly 'symbolic' nature - upon the tarmac surface, with, in the first example, some complementary marks running at a right angle to...

On another occasion, with this time the location being a city centre car park, & although perhaps not technically 'roadkill' in the manner as has become traditional, a most intriguing purposeful arrangement of cans was found & thus photographically documented, with three of the group half-flattened & the fourth object untouched (indeed, unopened), something of a diversion but nonetheless considered to be a worthy addition to the canon of the cans as it continues to develop, away from what might be thought of as those moorings of the old & now-distanced 'double black lines' upon & alongside which the objects were formerly found & depicted.
