This abandoned grain silo is located on historic Route 66 somewhere between Amarillo, TX and Tucamcari, NM. I like the shot and started thinking of it in terms of fit with the upcoming BAPC Honors Night assignment "Breaking Photographic Rules" after Shirley's comment on yesterdays post. This one has a "slanted horizon," a "centered subject matter," and an "amputated top". I think it would fair well in "applicability" but what about the photo itself? How hard will it be to have a good photo that breaks rules? After all the rules are there to help define a good photo, right?
There is a lot of interest along historic Route 66 heading west from Amarillo, but there is also much of the road with this same repeating view. While it's all part of the overall attraction, it's not all exactly a thrill-a-minute. It is the quintessential "open road."
