Jobs Lost

After making images for over fifty years it’s getting harder and harder to find something to make me lift my camera.  Sometimes I only capture one shot of the subject due to my second guessing of its value.  I did take two of this, probably because it’s leading lines and the three boxed-in windows, I love threes!  But also because it reminded me of my dads first job of candling eggs in a small town in Kansas.  A dark box, 6×6 feet, with no windows and corrugated metal sides where he would hold eggs in front of a candle for inspection.  This image was made in a small town on the south-side of the Salton Sea, CA, and it might have been a one room house in its hey day. Now boarded up, it stands uninviting to this day, just like the existing little egg shack in Arlington, Kansas.
