Industrial and Mechanical Art:
Photographs by Jeff Lindsay

I have long had a fascination with machines and industry. Since taking up digital photography as aside hobby, I've noticed that "ugly" industrial scenes often have a hidden beauty of their own. I've tried to capture some of that beauty in photographs, and present a few samples below. These are all copyright 2004 by Jeff Lindsay.

Sunflowers in front of tanks at the old Geneva Steel facility near Provo, Utah, summer 2004. Was almost late for an important appointment because of the fun I was having at this scene. One of my all-time favorites. An 11 x 14 print of this is often on display at my home or office.
