These days a house like this in the middle of nowhere is maybe a meth lab. I didn’t have that suspicion when I noticed the excellent arrangement of elements within the scene. Recently I was warned that it is something to look for out there - metal or plastic drums filled with explosive chemicals. This warning has changed the way I see the photograph. I realize that I am a fairly innocent traveler and I can ignore a pretty significant piece of a story because I am looking for a picture that feels right. An innocent white house with tin siding, windows and doors that are perfect cutouts in complementary colors plunked down on an expansive open field and shot in the middle of the day.
