Generations of debris give Seligman's eccentric Snow-Cap Drive-in much of its character. How long has this sign that once helped sell malts and shakes to Route 66 travelers, been bleaching in the grass? The effect of time on the sign is startling. What once was intended to attract attention now shocks and repels. It almost seems as if the Snow Cap Drive-in itself is lost to the past. Yet it still sells malts and shakes only a few yards away from this rotting sign. We are looking at an image that I made in the present, its subject one that is already lost in the past.
