Love the truck.  When was the shot taken?

 

Before I forget to add my thought on this wonderful picture, Wayne, I want to say how much I agree with Ray and the others who have been blown away by it. Even by your lofty standards, Wayne, this is a masterpiece.

It is a heavily freighted image, very film noir, which is why I lie awake at night, just staring at the ceiling, seeing nothing but this truck in my mind. All right, not actually, but it does bring to mind Edward Hopper‘s painting, Gas, 1940:

This work resulted from a composite representation of several gasoline stations seen by the artist. The light in this painting—both natural and artificial—gives the scene of a gas station and its lone attendant at dusk an underlying sense of drama. But rather than simply depicting a straightforward narrative, Hopper's aim was "the most exact transcription possible of my most intimate impressions of nature"—in this case, the loneliness of an American country road. Fellow artist Charles Burchfield believed these paintings would remain memorable beyond their time, because in his "honest presentation of the American scene . . . Hopper does not insist upon what the beholder shall feel."

16! Talk about masterpieces! This one, like Wayne's, ship it straight to MOMA to hang beside Hopper's masterpiece that Rog linked to above. ONLY FILM could produce that - the delicious grain, those couple of scratches which actually ADD to the picture. Only film, that is, in the right hands with the right sensibilities going on in that important space behind the eyes. Phenomenal. Absolutely brilliant.

Thanks so much. It was a very "touch-and-go:"  32 ISO; no meter or tripod, so I just opened the lens to F2, set the shutter at 1/2 second, concentrated real hard and took the shot. I was pretty excited to see the result. Just an example of the confidence the thread has given me to just shoot.

 

Best,

Wayne
