This old car was parked across the street from the house where I was staying in Petaluma. I photographed it for a half hour, and boiled it down to the whimsically distinctive artwork on the lid of its trunk. I also noticed that the handle on the trunk tilted down on the left, so I tilted the camera slightly to make the license place lean a bit down at the right. These tilts, together with the feathery drawing, puts the image into motion. It is the simple word “Idaho” on the license plate that adds the final touch to this image. Idaho is a essentially a rural state, and the folksy drawing on this trunk lid would seem very much at home on a country road.
