Description- Major mounds of snow are falling in Montreal as we approach March. The snow removal force is out in full strength and here is a shot, from the inside of the much loved machines, as it clears snow from the IBM building on Rene-Levesque!

Intentions- I want to give the viewer a vantage point that is often seen only by the workers themselves. As well, as to accentuate the graphic elements of urban landscapes mixed with industrial mechanics.

Evaluate- the two dark leading lines created by the machine's window frame give a solid weight which draw the eye around the frame (to the feet first and then the exterior scene) and establishes the linear pattern repeated in the metal posts of the IBM bld.'s courtyard area. I tried multiple exposures to experiment with bringing out the detail in the blacks of the steering wheel area. I found that unless blending two images in PS the snow would continually blow-out if exposing for the inside of the machine.
