City Art

As a newly appointed member of the Morgan Hill Library, Culture & Arts Commission, I joined in on a project-in-progress to create a virtual tour of all the city owned art. My job: photograph the art. When finished, a city map will have pin points that show the location of each art piece. When the point is clicked, a photograph (taken by me) will appear. How cool is that?

These first two sculptures are owned by the library, but they were included in the city inventory anyway. The photos in this post are just a sample of the 50 pieces of art I photographed.

This is a downtown mural ("Harvest Your Dreams")
that is now partially hidden by an overgrown tree

The murals on Third Street are temporary,
but will probably remain for several more years.

I liked how the fall colors created a
backdrop for "Waiting for the Train"

I took this photo of, "Liberty" (next to he CRC) with my iPhone and processed it with an app called, Big Lens that allows you to select a part of the composition to stay in focus while rendering the background a blur, allowing depth of field to be determined after the photo is taken. I love my iPhone.

When the virtual tour is complete,
a link will be added to the city's website.
I'll keep you posted.
