This work, titled “Fusion” by sculptor Shannon Owen, can be seen to the right immediately after driving into Cutillo Civic Plaza via the entrance nearest to the Town Hall.
I tried to get this shot on Sunday night. When I got home and processed it, I really liked the colors, but the focus was really off. I returned on Monday night and took greater care to get the focus right. I also used a grey card to ensure that the colors were accurate within the immediate vicinity of the sculpture. I think there are other light sources with different color temperatures nearby, however.
“Ceremonial Dance”, by Alan Hochman is next to the Town Hall. Water can be heard bubbling in this exhibit. When I looked closely, I could see the barest sheen of water running down the lowest panel to the left. There may have been water running down the other ones too, but I could not tell in the dark.
When I took this shot, I had no idea that the panels were that colorful. It’s possible, of course, that I didn’t account for the color temperature of all of the light sources and that some of the colors are off. I have not yet seen this sculpture during the daytime. The colors of the rocks, tree leaves, and agave plant all look reasonable though.

Hi Kevin,
All of these shots – from all 3 links – were beautiful. You did an excellent job! I think you should consider marketing these shots. They would be great as framed pictures or even post cards. You should give this serious thought. Maybe a hobby will turn into another career later in life.
Thanks so much for sending these along. I really enjoyed viewing them!
