I guess this photograph harkens back to the work of William Christenberry. It is roughly in that documentary tradition any way. That being said, Mr. Christenberry probably would have framed it a bit looser. Not wanting to stand in the middle of a busy road, I decided the tighter crop worked well enough. For some of these more documentary kinds of images, you can get away with some things. This structure is still around, so maybe I should shoot it again, and bring a wider lens this time. That's another lesson from Christenberry, go back and photograph a subject again and again over time.
