We here in The Hills take our daily sights for granted, so frequently unaware of their specialness.
Photography has been a call for me to reexamine that position, looking hard at scenes I might otherwise obliviously blow past.
Like this one, of a roadside VFW in Clarksburgh, MA:
I threw a bit of weight around with Elliot, shifting the perspective and the mass upward to approximate this building’s forceful presence in its humble neighborhood, and its humility relative to its old oak neighbor.
I hope you like it.
