Slaughterhouse Bridge, October
Francois de Melogue
2025 | Archival pigment print on archival satin photo paper | 17x25
The Slaughterhouse Bridge sits low over Cox Brook, tucked into a corridor of maples and birch whose October color has turned the light amber before it even reaches the ground. The timber frame is old — the grain raised, the boards split and resealed by 150 years of frost and thaw — and it holds the smell of damp wood and cold water even on a clear day. The brook runs narrow here, quick over flat stones, and the surface picks up the red and orange of the canopy above, breaking it into moving fragments with each small disturbance.
The bridge does not ask to be noticed. It stands where it has always stood, doing what it was built to do. The afternoon light catches the western face of the siding at a low angle, throwing the grain of the timber into relief, turning ordinary boards into something considered. Around it, the season is loud with color, but inside the frame it is quiet — a passageway that has outlasted the men who built it, the farms that once needed it, and the several hundred thousand days of weather that have tried to bring it down.
Quality is about longevity. I use a high-resolution Canon R5 Mark II to capture every detail of the Vermont landscape. Each piece is printed in-studio using professional-grade Canon Pro-1100 and Epson P9000 systems with archival pigment inks on natural cotton paper to create a print that will last for generations.
Print only, with a 1/4 inch wide white bordering for convenient matting and (or) framing
