Baby Girl
Baby Girl

I’ve recently stumbled upon the “avoid highways” checkbox on Google Maps. And how great life has become. I locked eyes with Baby Girl a few weeks ago while avoiding highways through southeast Idaho. I believe that mountain that’s staring right down the center frame is the mountain that hangs behind Pocatello, and I’m looking south – to give you an idea of where I am. I am on a farm.

Framing up this shot was tricky. My intuition was telling me to line up with the road that’s just on the other side of the fence – and so I’m thinking that the bus is parallel to the road because it shows that way. But that was not the case as you can see with powerlines coming into the frame more on the right letting you know that I’m facing the camera a slight bit to the left which was the right move because the weight of the powerlines coming into the frame on the left plus the mountain on the left is what it took to balance out this dairy farm that caught me by surprise. Also, this camera position allowed me to precisely frame up the mountain right down the center as if it were its own composition, overlooking the valley. Come to find out, the bus is quite warped, and so it’s not facing any single direction, emphasizing that single, centered set of window frames that are most aligned without interference from visual obstacles.

The graffiti is pretty much early middle school. I think that precise level of mediocrity appealed to me as well. I also liked the surprise of having purple flowers in the foreground. Purple is the direct complementary to yellow, so that makes sense – let’s get a few of those in the frame. Although the other side of the bus has more thought-provoking material such as “it is what it is” and some doodles of penises, “Slutz 3” and “Baby Girl” grew on me. Each side has its vibe.
