This is a photograph from about 20 years ago. Looks like it was taken near Salem, Ala., a small town on the way to somewhere else. Not sure quite why I framed it up this way, but I bet I had my reasons. What caught my attention when I saw this photograph in my archive of old images was the purple and blue tones in the shadows. A more modern camera would certainly do a better job, but you know what, Christenberry shot plenty of his work on Instamatics and old polaroids, and they're in museums. Plus, I'm not going back anytime soon.
