Here are a few more “possibles” for my Neo-Topographic portfolio, made whilst out chasing bald eagles with my photographer friend, Dana Bove.
In this one, I liked the combination of new homes, oil pumpjacks, and the bald eagle–a clear commentary, in one small rectangle, about shrinking habitat and damaged ecosystems. The eagle in this photograph is one-half of a pair that used to have a nest farther west, near Hwy 52 and CR 5. The nest was removed to make way for a planned subdivision in that area:

A boarded-up farm falling into ruins, and an advancing new subdivision on the horizon…and yet another oil pumpjack:

Oh, what stories could this basketball hoop tell? How many rural pickup games were played here, under the stars, in the grand silence of the prairie, to an audience of crickets, coyotes, and prairie dogs, before the advancing population of human beans finally closed down the arena for good?
