mmwhite 0 Posted December 30, 2008 doug, there are many appalachian hillsides, but this IS one of them- so no dilemma. but fortunately, the curve in your road is keeping it nicely contained. regards, mmwhite. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted December 30, 2008 Wonderful, it looks like a toy train setting for a kid whose parents have been buying him too many of those tiny model cars. This is really a unique image and deserves more attention from the viewers here on pn. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted December 30, 2008 I think there is a kernel of truth in stereotypes. It is the generalizations that create the problem. These kinds of places did/do exist. But outside the area, they may be the image people have of Appalachia. Hopefully not. Thanks so much for commenting. Link to comment
dberryhill 3 Posted December 30, 2008 Thanks! I may be wrong, but I don't think this is the season for straight documentary photography. Link to comment
evb 0 Posted January 5, 2009 Doug,This may be a perceived as a stereotypical photograph, but some of these auto dumps still exist in rural parts of the country, where land is not at such a high premium as it is in some of our eastern and western suburbs. Walker Evans photographed a similar landscape many years ago in Pennsylvania that this reminded me of: Walker Evans in Pennsylvania.Sometimes the hand of man adds interest to a natural landscape.Regards,Ed Link to comment
Mike Marcotte 50,753 Posted January 7, 2009 I like what Michelle said here. If this same bunch of cars were in my area, no one would notice. They would blend in with the rest of the junk. Link to comment
