Ours look nothing like this you know. They don't have that bit hanging over the cab for a start.

It is the oddest thing but one gets the feeling that the truck and the window are communicating - that these are not quite things but personifications of things. Talk about getting a sense of a culture or people from the objects they create. Wonderful division of space...

@daina: thank you for such a thoughtful comment daina.
Marcie from United States
Really nice balance between the truck and the window. I agree with Daina - there is some sort of back and forth that is happening between them.

daina's observation is hilarious, trucks and buildings don't talk...or do they? best...jerry

What can I say? These pure black and white tones get me every time. The lines so straight and orderly. Great!

...with an 'oops'on the corner. Every picture tells a story... and this does so powerfully.

I really love the mood of your photos !. Tmax100 is quite amazing ! Its grain and sharpness are suitable for your shots and composition !

@Polydactyle: thanks p. i was just an observer here - a neighborhood store was closing up and moving out. but is that true about uhaul trucks?

I like the aluminium bulkhead, and the photo is excellent as usual. I'm waiting to see if you have one of those aluminium topedo trailers that are so USA.

@Observing: an airstream. mike, i can't tell you how many times i've tried and failed to get a decent photo of one.

Such symmetry in this image. You have a great eye for that...I've observed.

these trucks are so domineering! so tough and strong! but i love their name -- it is synonymous w/ moving houses or apartments... a very engaging shot here! i feel as if the truck could burst out of the frame! excellent capture!

@dj.tigersprout: thanks dj. to me, the word 'uhaul' has a connection with being young - with still not having accumulated too much stuff, being able to pack all one's stuff in a truck and move.
