The overhead lighting reveals the curved rivet pattern securing the scarred and rusted steel of a commuter train bridge.

Solid rivets are one of the oldest and most reliable types of fasteners, having been found in archaeological sites dating back to the Bronze Age. Solid rivets consist simply of a manufactured head and a shaft that is deformed with a hammer or rivet gun. Until relatively recently, structural steel connections were either welded or riveted. High-strength bolts have largely replaced structural steel rivets. Indeed, the latest steel construction specifications published by AISC (the 14th Edition) no longer covers their installation. The reason for the change is primarily due to the expense of skilled workers required to install high strength structural steel rivets. (Information obtained from wikipedia)

James currently lives and works in the New York City area, a far cry from a childhood in the splendors of rural Vermont. An unabashed introvert, James enjoys observing all that surrounds him without feeling the need to be an integral part of the proceedings. His goal as an artist is to express the remarkable within the familiar and ordinary, through critical examination and contemplation of the subject, without alteration of the scene... ...And sometimes he just gets lucky by being in the right place at the right time. PLEASE NOTE: - The 'Fine Art America' watermark that is present on each image will NOT appear on the finished print. %
