Even a discarded or a forgotten bottle can make art for a photographer who has the artist's eye. Without the bottle to pull this together, would we notice the reflection of delicately tinted sunrise clouds in the reflected blue of the water or the weathered browns and greys of the dock? The slight unsteadiness of the bottle's position keeps you looking, as does the flash of green in the label (subtly picked up by the post on the right.
The one that follows is, of course, the same bottle. I couldn't decide which I preferred so I decided to use both.
The photographer took these photos in the course of a day of recording her life in Tampa. She took this one and the one after it at sunrise at Davis Island.
