This is what remains of the left side portion of the old Sonora Aggregates plant (1980's image is here).

I liked the patterns of the old beams and the long-disconnected pipes. I also liked this one in B&W.

Nice antique construction abstract. Good combo of shapes, lines and tones. This one also has a lot of crops within it to further isolate shapes.

Love the design and line, the shapes and tones, and the remarkable sense of decay, a sadness of days long gone, of someone's dream that provided jobs and provided for numerous families in its day. Your choise of b/w is perfect. A fantastic image, Preston, that is right up there with Sexton's work in my opinion.

A perfect subject for b/w! A wonderful range of textures and shades. This is a perfect example of the power to evoke found in black and white. devil

A very engaging still life (death) as is the case for much of American manufacturing in the West. Nice tonal qualities.
