Across the countryside there are structures that harken back to a simpler time. I travel a lot in the area and used to traverse eastern North Carolina for business. One day I passed a shed leaning hard to one side with a roof that had turned from a shiny corrugated metal to a bright rusty red. I pulled over and walked back to the shed with my camera ready. There in one side of the shed was the hood and gleaming chrome bumper of a dilapidated 1955 Ford sedan peeking out with polk plants sticking up through the radiator and wheel wells.
It made for some great shots with the bright sky with puffy clouds as a background. I put the photo aside thinking I would need another similar happy accident to make a pair I could frame as 8x10's to hang or offer as prints. A few years went by and another happy accident in another state came my way. The photo of the shed with the antique pickup was just what I was looking for. The original photo isn't in this group, but I will republish them together in a future post.
