Description
Few things in life are as beautiful as a jumbled mass of empty cardboard boxes.
Captured 8/26/15 @ 8:09 am, at the rear entrance/exit area of a 99+ Cent store in a local strip mall.
Well worth a ZOOM.
Pay particular attention to photos 2 and 3, the bottom one being my favorite. It even surprised me.

Super find and captures, Harry. Yes, that was a big surprise. I guess we will see more of this, this year. People in the street. :(

Wow, yes - a sad surprise but an impressive set of images, Harry.

You see this all the time in Chicago---boxes give shelter for people on the street. They're also camouflage for people who don't want to be seen sleeping on the street. (It's not easy to be out on display, when one has no place to live.) And you've sequenced these so we find the sleeping person, and then get a much bigger view of him/her. As well, your camera is swiveling through these 3 shots. From straight against the wall, to almost perpendicular to it.
As a capture of urban decay, and the rhythms of urban life, it's pure "you": It's alive with the rhythm of boxes, and all the labels, and the skewed angles of the boxes---some collapsed, some not. And that's against those jaundiced looking pink bricks, and all the decay in the sidewalk. In the bottom two shots, you have that pink glass, and some green planters (maybe planters---way back in number 3), with more of that peeling pink in the background. Against a stucco wall! Wonderful counterpoint of stuff most of us walk away from. It takes guts to capture these places. And you add a person seeking shelter underneath it all---a very poignant street capture. I wonder---given that this is this August---how anyone survives on the street in the terrible heat and drought you've been having. Must be very hard. More of your signature street work, Harry; and the boxes are worth the visit, all by themselves.
