Untitled Column


Since I have started this project I have taken several photos of this column. I also have several photos from years ago when I lead a photowalk in Bethesda.

I'm always looking for different angles or ways to look at this art piece. The main problem is it is located in a courtyard with distracting backgrounds from almost every angle. The column is about 20 feet tall and if you try to photograph the entire column you can never get a pleasing background. One idea I have is to come back and night and try to light it with strobes or light paint it while all of the background turns to black. I'm still not happy with the way this one works, but I needed something to post for today and this is the best I could get today.

This column is called Untitled Column and was created by Ned Smyth for the Bethesda Place Plaza. He has also created several other art pieces for this location.
