A close-up of a riverboat's paddle wheel in the Fells Point neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland

A riverboat is docked in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland.

One of the most prominent features of Fells Point is the riverboat that sits in the dock. Shortly after photographing the rope that moored the riverboat to the dock, I was drawn to the paddle wheel and decided to make its vivid colors, angles, shapes, and lines the focal point of these photographs.
