Image Chosen for County Archive

The image Las Animas Concrete was chosen today by Santa Cruz County to be a part of their ongoing photo collection titled The Visual Chronicle of Santa Cruz County. The collection is publicly displayed in county facilities.

This image was made from a photograph taken by Larry Darnell in the winter of 2009 on Encinal Street in Santa Cruz. "Most of my works are landscape photographs," says Darnell, "very few, however, remain as traditional photographs. With the computer, I've developed a number of styles which have the feel of paintings or prints. This one is part of a series inspired by Japanese-style wood block prints."

From the Santa Cruz County website:
