Mounted antennas crackle and shine with black light
On a foggy suburban night, a street sign warns of crossing school children.
The black star refuses to set
A flooded gravel rear parking lot at night. An ironic billboard.
A back alley, tucked away in a corner of the suburbs most people try their hardest to ignore.
A dilapidated standing basketball hoop at the end of a culdesac in front of a sign reading "ROAD ENDS." The number 13 is written on the sign in spray paint. No one is supposed to be here this late.
A dock on a lake leads out to water. The sunlight has been turned upside down.
A traffic light hanging straight up on its cable. Don't try to make sense of the signals anymore.
Zip zap go the power lines. Criss cross beneath the sky.
A black sun hovering over the horizon. It reflects its darkness off the water.
A set of stadium lights. There is nothing else.
Night. The parking lot contains only fog now. Nothing else exists.
A great tower viewed from the underside. You are dwarfed.
A railroad light that signals to trains to stop or proceed. It is red hot to the touch.
At the end of a lonely street, something stares back.
A dark and snowy T intersection next to a lake. Own this print today.
Two traffic lights signaling drivers to stop. There are no drivers here.
Power lines held up by perfectly straight wooden poles criss cross in dense fog. No human being lives here.
Power lines aglow. There is nothing else.
A great white tower stands, powerful yet fragile.
Two antenna towers stand together, locked in eternal rivalry
A pair of railroad tracks leading into inpenetrable fog. Glowing eyes stare back, waiting and beckoning.
An old street in an old part of town. Only one apartment is illuminated.
A photo negative of a cellular antenna tower rising above a brick wall. It can see everything, and everyone can see it.
The corner of a street that leads to nothing.
Two garages in the same industrial building. One is shined on with a spotlight. One is not.
A very late night and very dense fog. A puddle reflects a street light, still water from a prior storm.
Three utility poles standing, watching each others' backs.
A great tower, the tallest in the world.
A grave for a lucky man.
A set of sports field lights. None of them are on.
Scratched Element looking very cool
A great tower rises from the earth and looms above.
A large glowing cross on the side of a church. God is absent.
ONE WAY - DO NOT ENTER
"STUDENT DROP OFF ONLY" the sign reads, at a time when no students would have any business being here.
As our eyes stare skyward its eyes stare back
A child's jungle gym slide backlit in a foggy night. There's something off here.
A house that's far too small.
