Yeah, it kinda lends itself toward that, but I actually chose "RustyBug" as a moniker to reflect as a "way out of practice" "shutterbug" when I took up digital photography after about a 15 year hiatus from shooting chromes ... but if the shoe fits, who's to argue.

That evokes memories because in my callow youth I lived near and would often drive by the International factory on the South Side of Chicago. Red "International Harvester" farm equipment used to be a ubiquitous as the green John Deere gear and the Internation Harvester Travelall was the grand-daddy of today's SUVs.

While our passion is learning and sharing how to "master" ( ) this visual form of communication, the verbal form is one that warrants perpetual growth as well.

Thanks ... I strive to "take you there" (i.e. evokes) as a guiding principle, purpose and philosophy for my "better" images. Every now & then even a blind dog (or dinosaur) finds a bone that hopefully does just that.
evoke

This shot is a good example of a point I've mentioned in different critiques about thinking/shooting cinematically from various points of view and the stronger emotional impact the close-ups usually trigger.
This close-up shot of the International logo triggered different reactions, and very subjective reactions based on experience with International products than a wider shot of a rusting tractor would have. The "1,000 words" of storyline context for me comes from my memories.
That close up shot is the type of detail that would catch my eye and challenge me to build a story around a stranger would understand. So I'm curious what other crops you might have of it that tell us more about it.
