When Form Follows Function

From what I can tell, no designers were involved in putting this old agricultural building together. The design school is 'willy nilly'. Still, with proper framing, you can get a pretty decent documentary photograph. Like Lewis Baltz and the other New Topographics photographers. 

I especially like the cinder block door stop. 

Tasting notes: Pentax K-3 iii M, Sigma 30mm f/1.4.
 

Old Topographics

Superficially, this scene might look like something Lewis Baltz could have encountered on his travels. But, of course, we are nearly fifty years on from when the New Topographic photographers were out documenting the country. Over the course of a half century, the landscaping has been neglected, a few electrical feedthroughs have been patched onto the building facades, and things appear to need a little TLC. TLC ain't coming. Folks seem to prefer new construction to sprucing up what we already have. I like the old stuff. I could totally see this little building as a pretty sweet studio. It's just too far from my house is all.

Good light to you this weekend, fellow traveler.
