My Image, "Mercury and Wings II" combines two iconic features of Rochester's skyline. I first saw the possibility while driving on an upper floor of the parking ramp on South Avenue when I saw Mercury atop the Lawyers Cooperative Extension building pass in front of the Wings of the Times Square Building. Although they are a couple of blocks apart, a long-lens perspective brings them together with careful positioning in what I thought was an interesting juxtaposition. I have shot it twice, catching a moment in the second attempt with a morning-sunrise lighting against a darkened sky and approaching rain shower. The contrast of the human form of the Mercury statue and the intricate structure of the Wings opened up by the lighting enhance my appreciation of the past artists who can inspire us yet today. To credit them, the sculptor for Mercury was J. Guernsey Mitchell who produced it in 1881 and the architect for the "Wings of Progress" was Ralph T. Walker completed in 1930.
