Artist's Description
"As machines become more and more efficient and perfect, so it will become clear that imperfection is the greatness of man."
Ernst Fischer
Although machinery works so well and seems to lie in the realm of perfection, the reality can be something altogether different.
A few years ago, Ford Motor Company produced a model called the Escort. For whatever reason, the auto was introduced with two versions of the same automatic transmission. The decision to use one or the other was somewhat arbitrary and primarily relied on availability. One transmission was produced by Ford in Batavia, Ohio. The other came from Japan and was built by Mazda. Both transmissions were built to identical specifications.
Soon after introduction of the Escort, word got out in the consumer base that the Japanese transmission was superior. Car buyers began crawling under Escorts to see which transmission the vehicle was built with.
The situation created great consternation...

William, What an absolutely gorgeous image of an inanimate object! Or is it? When I stare at it long enough I can see the gears meshing together and then my eyes dart to see if it has caused a chain reaction. The colours, composition and texture make for a beautiful work of art! I love the way you find beauty in that which is often overlooked! v/f/g+1.

Rory Sagner
Beautiful work William...and it's so true, that quote!!! Reminds me of that old Outer Limits show when everyone on earth had made themselves look "perfect" via plastic surgery, etc. Only a few chose not to go that route and in the end, those that used to be considered ugly became the new "beautiful"...because they were now unique! v/f
William Fields replied:
Thanks very much Rory, I'm not familiar with the episode you mentioned, but I know I would have loved it. I really do embrace that which is less than perfect in life.
