Near the stadium, I came across these giant X\u2019s and O\u2019s, part of a sculpture symbolizing the offense and defense. Today, I returned without the crowds and commotion to see what I could find.","rel":"","context":"In "Blog"","block_context":{"text":"Blog","link":"https:\/\/masonimageblog.com\/index.php\/category\/blog\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masonimageblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DPG620.jpg?fit=807%2C1080&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masonimageblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DPG620.jpg?fit=807%2C1080&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masonimageblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DPG620.jpg?fit=807%2C1080&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/masonimageblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/DPG620.jpg?fit=807%2C1080&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":1898,"url":"https:\/\/masonimageblog.com\/index.php\/2025\/01\/30\/hand-print-art\/","url_meta":{"origin":414,"position":5},"title":"Hand Print Art","author":"Steve Mason","date":"January 30, 2025","format":"image","excerpt":"During my stay in Brooklyn last month, I came across a wonderful park nestled within the campus of the Pratt Institute of Art.

Bronze casting is an impressive art.
\nPart clay sculpture, part metal work, all of it a fully developed art form that takes weeks sometimes months to complete. The scale of work alone is crazy.<\/p>\n

In this cluttered and noisy workspace I saw a single clay form elevated quietly on a sculptor\u2019s stool. It\u2019s evolution to a bronze figure interrupted by a millon other projects competing for attention around it.<\/p>\n

Just a couple pictures. Using the depth of field to create enough fall off around the surface. An old beat up picture with the face of a man lay just outside the frame.<\/p>\n

From a photograph to a clay sculpture and back to a photograph again. Credit due to the sculptor. Good fortune credited to me.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
