Dead Truck, Darwin, California, 2007

Darwin probably has more dead trucks and cars within its town limits than living souls. This bright yellow tanker has made its final deliveries and now molders in the bush, adjacent to a building that has also seen far better days. Sometimes photographers can make a junked car into an expressive entity by placing it into a context that brings it back to life. That’s what I’ve tried to do here. The building and hills may get more space than the vehicle, yet this bright yellow truck still draws the eye because of its incongruous color and appearance.
