You are the king of the Drive-by shooting!...
(seriously, after all the previous analysis there was little I could add to this beautiful picture)

To Donald, on Egglestone - no you were not being presumptuous - I was familiar with the name but not with his work. On Friedlander - I agree with you, the picture does have a "F" air about it which might not be entirely accidental (he is one of my favorites). On the technique - the "snapshot" style is deliberate - these pictures are early examples of it (they were taken in August 2002) I think I'm better at it now. You're right - some of these shots were more studied than others - some were taken with the Nikon, others with a DV - what I tried to capture was this sweet sadness that fills your heart that takes hold of your soul as you drive through the deep south. On your comments - you are very kind Donald and I thank you for it.

Addendum: there is also a nice Friedlander quality to the picture that I admire; I think it is the inclusion of the rear-view mirror that so tantalizes me. Overall, I'd add it to my favorites in the "windshield survey" class of photography.

It has occured to me that, if you don't know them, you would enjoy the photographs of William Egglestone, another southerner (I think) whose work in the early seventies brought color into the artistic community of photographers, via the Museum of Modern Art. On the other hand, you probably know the work and I'm just being presumptious. Your photographs and his do share a certain relationship to color that is engaging and admirable. What I can't be sure of just now is whether your technique is deliberately throw-away, or planned and just very casual. This photograph is tremendous but would have a lot of problems sustaining anything bigger than a small print, I think. In that I may be wrong. Whatever the case, it holds my interest and I admire it a good deal. Thank you for the work.
