Description The ruins of this silo is located in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. This kind of abandonment is all too common in the rural landscape, especially in the Northeast where small farms predominate. These farms feel numerous pressures stemming from the economy of agriculture to the land use changes brought on by an increasingly suburbanized rural landscape. The degree of weathering and rustiness of this dilapidated silo indicates that the change at this farm occurred many years ago. What's interesting, but not seen in the photograph, is the presence of an enduring home that is still lived and an adjoining field of hay.
Brian Rojo, Arlington, MA. Member Since March 2011 Artist Statement I'm a landscape architect with a curious eye for finding beauty and meaning in unexpected places. My portfolio contains many subjects, with an emphasis on landscape and architectural photography. I worked as a landscape architect for many years until I became disabled with a genetic disorder. As a result, I'm using photography as a means of expression, replacing the artistic sensibilities that I once found in my profession of designing landscapes and gardens. My aim is to seek out strong compositions and unique viewpoints of familiar and unfamiliar subjects. My interests range from rural to urban landscape, from modern to historic architecture, from plants to vernacular objects, from a sense of place to a sense of wonder. Ultimately, I hope to encourage others to find the beauty in their environment, and to be curious of the unfamiliar.
