Layered history, Antelope, Oregon, 2008

This image is made of three layers. The bottom layer is the original 19th century brick building. Over the years the bricks have been whitewashed, and once sported a massive red, white and blue motor oil sign. That sign has weathered away, replaced by a humble gray board announcing the presence of the “Antelope Mercantile Mart.” The wall offers
a symbolic mosaic of contradiction, contrast, coherence and incoherence.

1/200s f/5.6 at 15.6mm iso100 full exif
