–verb (used with object)
to present again or anew
It seems to me that this verb could refer to any and all photograph. No true image can be created without a physical object (person place thing, what ever) to photograph. That's pretty obvious. A large part of my problem I have to solve by the end of this semester: what, exactly, am I representing here? Service Stations, obviously. Looking past, though, what are those empty service stations representing? I wish I had the answer right now.
-the energy industry is turning away from the old standby of oil. We know what it's leaving behind. Where is it going? BP wants to be on the forefront of this change. http://www.bp.com/bodycopyarticle.do?categoryId=7040&contentId=7046747
-the economy is leaving little money for disposable income. The Virginia unemployment rate as climbed 1 percent in six months. http://www.bls.gov/eag/eag.va.htm
-even as these service stations are being abandoned, most are eventually converted into something else: many have become seedy used car dealerships or auto repair shops
So these three things bring me to my game plan. I'm going to continue shooting the abandoned stations, but also shoot the stations that have been converted, & possibly some of the physical locations where energy of the future is being researched and or implemented.
