Best in the world, Chandler, Arizona, 2014

While dining in a local barbeque restaurant, I photographed a poster-like banner hanging just behind me. It modestly proclaims the food that I was enjoying to be “Best in the world.” To emphasize the meaning of this proud boast, I brought my camera down to a low vantage point, and using a wideangle lens turned vertically, I shot upwards to stress the thrusts of the surrounding diagonal wall and metal posts, helping the banner try to live up to its boast. I tilted the camera slightly to energize the diagonal flow of the image, and crowned the scene with a pair of diagonally tilted spotlights to echo the position of the surrounding diagonals. A small pig floats in the background, lending context to the nature of the restaurant itself.
