Dear Cole,


Last month I introduced the first images from my new series "The Fountainhead."  The series takes its name from the 1943 novel by Ayn Rand and is the story of Howard Roarke, an individualistic architect "who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision." (1)

This project appeals to me in so many ways; first because architecture was one of my first loves in life and second, because I admire the characteristics Rand has given to Howard Roarke.  I have used many of Rand's quotes in my blog relating to creativity and vision, here are two of my favorites:

Ellsworth M. Tooey:   My dear fellow, who will let you?
Howard Roarke:        That's not the point. The point is, who will stop me?

     and

"I don't make comparisons. I never think of myself in relation to anyone else. I just refuse to measure myself as part of anything. I'm an utter egotist. 

Lastly I love this project because of the process used to create the images, it is both crude and sophisticated at the same time, and it allows for an infinite number of creative possibilities.

I've created a new set of Fountainhead images, this time in Denver and you may see the entire series at http://www.colethompsonphotography.com/TheFountainhead.htm.

My thanks to those who have written to express their thoughts on these new images.

Cole
