ABE

A very strange statue attached to Sather Tower on the UC BerkeleyCampus. He must have been something when the copper was shiny and new.I love the oxydation.

 

What do you think?

Amy: Good eye to notice the tarnished Abe. I like the photo, but it's a shame the top on his head is missing. Tom

moving pic. the lines of modern architecture radiating outward from the seemingly ageless visage are in striking contrast. i'm thinking that the image could be less saturated -- almost a sepia toned effect. the metaphor could be that the sad face of a gentle humanitarian is apparently unknown to most people-- like the homeless-- streaked and spat upon, egged... you could even flip the image 90 degrees to suggest him lying on the ground. cool.
