I don't believe this photo is publishable because of the copyright on the sign, but its a shame because I love it. Not simply because I love waffle houses, but because its wonderfully framed, cropped, colored (that is, monochromed, with slight RGB tweaks to give a slightly vintage look) toned and focused. Hell, I'd print this, frame it and give it to a friend for free just to see it on someone's wall. Heck, maybe I'll do that. Sure, maybe its illegal, but isn't all the best wall art of the illegal ilk?
Shot from a car window. a big carnival truck was hauling all this carnie equipment and I snapped this one off before we sped past. I zoomed in too far, then I realized the ambigiousness of the closeness made it much more interesting of a photograph. Unzoomed: Carnie truck on a highway. Zoomed: Strange convergence of shapes and textures.
Its fascinating documenting the urban and suburban landscapes that we build for ourselves. These labyrinthine structures shape our lives as much as they do our routes, creating a kind of mythological area in which we live out our existences and dreams.
