hursday evening I journeyed to Kansas City with several colleagues to attend the PIA MidAmerica Graphex awards competition. I was in the back seat with my camera the entire way, photographing with the 45mm Zeiss Tessar. As we came to a stop light on the outskirts of the city, I was presented with this fortuitous scene, where everything fell into motionless and agreeable compositional space. The image strikes me as a metaphor on the current economic conditions prevalent across the USA.
“Not so many years ago there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel and movement through space provided the universal metaphor for change. One of the subtle confusions, perhaps one of the secret terrors of modern life, is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.” - Daniel J. Boorstin
