Abandoned Dreams Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

I was driving along Texas Highway 21 in a rural area, when I saw this rusted heap of an abandoned pick-up truck. It was compelling in a charming way and drew me into it. This image evoked complex emotions on my part: sadness, sympathy, respect. This rusted heap which no one wanted had its own poignant beauty. I wanted to preserve it before it crumbled into the landscape. I'm not sure which influences to attribute it to, for it is unique in my repertoire. Many of my images such as this one have a painterly quality. This technique has been frowned upon by critics in the past, but I use it if the image calls for it. In general my influences come from Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keeffe, Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eliot Porter, Imogene Cunningham, Edward Weston, and others. Rather than emulating them, I strive to give each image its own identity. To me, this image represents the idea that many people discard their goals when their goals no longer serve them. Something that was once precious is not worth saving. But the old truck also illustrates that beauty is everywhere if you look for it. My hope for you is that this image will teach you to find beauty in surprising places and hold it to your heart.
