OBSOLESCENCE

I seem to rely on Carmi’s Thematic Photographic these days to remind me to post to my own site, ignoring the damn thing until I suddenly remember that he has likely—unfailingly—updated the week’s assignment. In any case, it gets me to take a break from all that stuff sitting heavy on my shoulders—work, other work, more other work, baby, home improvement, thin wallet, etc. It gets me back here. It gets me to flip through my images, which, I rediscover weekly, brings me great joy.

I shot this at a wonderful junkyard in California’s Central Valley, where the jagged heaps of scrap have been baking beneath that awful, ambivalent sun for decades. The state of the automobile is a curious one these days, as the whole system seems to be busted, and I think this shot captures some of that.

    This is why you urged me to get a new camera, isn’t it? So you could mock me with your photographic skill. Well played, sir; well played.
