A one building town is a perfect subject for a vista – and Leadfield fills that role. It was a gold mining boomtown founded on distorted advertising. In August, 1926, more than 300 people moved to Leadfield to get rich. They didn’t. In February, 1927, everyone departed. Today only one small building survives in Leadfield. I photographed it from behind with a 28mm wideangle lens, so that I could embrace it with the very hills that were supposed to provide instant wealth. The red paint on the building may be 80 years old, but it still vividly anchors the image and gives the scale incongruity the image requires to work as an effective vista.
