Another Photographer that I've looked at a lot is Ed Ruscha. The thing that I liked about Ed Rucsha's work over the likes of the Bechers is the has a stronger theme to it. The Bechers take pictures from a certain angle from a certain distance but what I can find theres no link to the water towers, they're simple just from other towns. On the other hand, Ed Ruscha is has a large link in his work, well, it's the 26 gas stations from highway 66.
The other thing about Ed Ruscha's work is that there are a much larger variety of pictures, not just from the same angle, also not all from the same time of day, as you can see in the selection above there are pictures taken in the night. This is something that I need to try, combined with the circle bridge would work quite well, maybe with a slow shutter would look pretty good. I'm also going to have to start with my with layout ideas. I know that I want to do some kind of large prints with a huge amound of prints on.
