A photo of a rain-soaked manhole cover. Manhole covers are a popular subject, often featuring unique designs that reflect the characteristics of their respective areas. This particular work captures a cast-iron manhole cover, where the rain adds a sense of life and softens its otherwise rigid impression.

A photo capturing an emblem-like object illuminated majestically. Such symbols of authority are often better represented in rigid iron rather than warm organic materials, as it conveys their intended meaning more directly. Reflecting on the unconscious choices of texture can lead to new discoveries.
