I find myself staring at this, Ted. Apart from the stark pathos of the image, I love the vanishing-point perspective~.
There's something fascinating about the perspective of this prison photo even though it reflects failure in society.
Ginnie and Tim - My friend Gary and I spent some time discussing how to photograph the wagon. On the first day neither of us succeeded. For a long time I was looking the other way, but when I moved here I knew the shot would work. One thought was to suspend your camera over the middle. Thanks for visiting and leaving comments.
What a collection!!
Alas, you probably read them in reverse order. I wonder if it matters.
