I believe you mean James Francis "Jimmy" Durante, the Great Schnozzola.

This almost looks like a relief map of some mysterious fantasy world, Harry; beautifully captured with all the glorious shadows!

lol, Scnozzl Durrant...a new name for ol' Schozzola! I'm amazed JDurante is even known in Europe, and I never saw his face in this wonderful shot, until I read Andrea's comment. I'm only back for one comment, just to let you know I'm looking every day. I'll do a long session soon. But lord, this is good on so many levels. The harsh morning light---not as early as some of your shots, I see---is full bleaching and all-revealing power, the kind of light that people who want to 'look good' in a photo avoid, but which reveals so much detail and contour and 'geology' in shots like this. Harsh and powerful with geological details, including bulges, hill-ranges, ridges, valleys, and flat desert areas that also double as 'water'. (I can't get geology out of my head with this.) The shadows are terrific: deep and blue-ish, and making those mini deserts in the flatter sections. You even included a piece of paint/metal, standing up---it's 1/5th of the way down from the top, and about an inch to the left of center: It looks like a rock in the Southwest, standing alone, casting a long menacing shadow. If this had a gunman ka-chinking into the scene, it would be right out of a western. Metaphors aside, this is first rate decay photography, revealing once more that decay is just one person's way of describing process and organic growth along with all the other things that take place as change unfolds in our universe. It's marvelous, really complex, with flat as well as hilly detail, and the light's terrifically varied. I'll be back soon, but you're really posting first rate stuff Harry. (Including turkey tofu signs over orange-lit trains.) Good Night Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are (ha-cha!)...this is great work, Harry.
