Most of the painted electrical utility boxes that I saw in this town were surrounded with distracting contexts. The dolphin painting in the previous image had to be severely cropped to make the image work as a photograph. However this particular box was surrounded by a strikingly simple context – a stretch of concrete, and three poles, each projecting a diagonal shadow pointing towards the box and the strange looking fish that adorns its side panel. I simply backed away to include the rhythmically repeating poles and their shadows, drawing the eye towards the yellow and green fish that swims in a painted blue ocean. Meanwhile, the shadow of the box itself adds a dimensional touch that enhances the image.
