We have come to take signage pollution for granted, filtering out the signs that mean nothing or little to us, and focusing only the signage of interest. The camera, however, brings a much less selective eye to the scene. We must force it to shoot selectively. In this image, I deliberately shoot unselectively, because I wanted to replicate what is really out there on this street.. Chiloquin is a small town, yet the level of signage pollution is very high, dominated by the signage of the gas station in the foreground. There is also a banner curled upon itself hanging over the main street, a stop sign, street sign, and furniture store signage crowding this image. These symbolic signs tell a story: there is so much here to sell, and so few to sell it to.
