A slightly altered photo from the archives. I spotted these mailboxes near my home in Baytown, Texas and thought they had an interesting mix of color, textures, and pattern [not to mention orientation!] Hope you like the shot.
I would really like to see this photo either in B&W or a sepia tone. I think it would make the subject (the mail boxes) really stand-out from the background.
I like this image! The red rust is important to the story line that popped into my head when I saw the picture. One mailbox seems out of service. The grass is not mowed. It is the story of the postal service getting smaller as other more efficient companies give better service at better prices, a repeat of the Pony Express. You either change or history leaves you behind.
I work in the industrial distribution sector as a salesman for a master distributor of valves and fittings in Houston, TX. I am a member of the Bay Area Photo Club which meets at the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in Clear Lake Texas on Tuesday nights. I shoot with an Olympus E-3 and my favorite lens in my Zuiko 12-60.

Good eye to see this one.
