Sometimes the images that we make are not altogether our own; truly, how often can we make something that we can claim is solely derived from our own inspiration and is not, in some respect, derivative of others’ work?  Another photographer in my Picture Story class, my good friend Calin Ilea, made this image a few days ago of snow-covered car windshield wiper blades.  It was beautiful for its simplicity, and I wished it was mine.  This is my own interpretation of a similar scene a few days later.
