Yeah, I considered getting rid of that red truck. Unlike many, I
don't find myself looking at scenes with the eye of a
photojournalist. If I were pining for publication as such, I'd be
working on developing stories. In my present casual mode, however,
said drive just isn't a present. Only look at scenes from a pictorial
perspective with each being complete as a single shot. This section
of town does have other residue of that era and I will be through
there again I'm sure.
Thanks much for commenting, Bill.
It's too static a scene for photojournalism. Doesn't even set the scene
for a story, because there's no people there.
The photojournalist approach would be to get closer, open one of those
doors & find some people ... take a photo of what they're doing, even if
it's nothing more than some old guy complaining how deserted the place
is because all the young people have run off to the city.
I'm not criticizing your photo, although I'd have tried to clean up the
other end where the vacant lot intrudes ... but not having seen the
scene, I can't tell you how I'd have done it exactly, other than
possibly moving a few steps to the left and angling the camera more to
the right to fill that side of the frame with the side of the building
... which might have hidden the red truck behind the other end of the
buildings as well.
Still I enjoy the photo and the back story about the area.
