New Work: Fort Knox Observatory
Here's my favorite image from an impromptu "photo shoot" at the Prospect, ME observatory: it was shot through the windshield of a moving car! 
It works in black-and-white, too:
I particularly like the bow to the building, which resulted from using my lens at a wide-angle setting: the tower doesn't really lean that way in "real life". Sometimes "flaws" can be used to a photographer's creative benefit, too.
This is making me think about whether there's such a thing as "wabi-sabi photography": embracing the "imperfections" in one's work as true/real/honest/valued. This of course, assumes that it's done intentionally at the shooting or editing stage. (Otherwise, it's just laziness, obliviousness, or denial.)
