HENRY HERING. Regeneration. Detail

I am always surprised by the camera.  Last night, just after dusk, I snapped these two shots of Henry Hering's "Regeneration"  (on the Michigan Avenue Bridge) in rapid succession.  They should have been the same.  Instead, they are remarkably different and reveal the depth of consideration  Henry Hering had for the face and emotion his "Spirit."

His work at the MSI may deserve a another look.
