Paul Strand is a photographer I discovered many years ago. There was a book of his at school where the blacks were so black and the white's so white you could take a bite out of them. I don't think my eyes could search any deeper into his landscape photographs even if I had been there shooting alongside him during his lifetime.
One Friday while in Montana I went out and photographed on my own around the charming streets of Missoula. I came across this scene in someone's backyard and crept in to steal the image. A couple years later and I still love this image for what it personally represents to me. Seeing this image in full resolution always makes me think of Strand's work and how much it inspires me.

Great composition Kris...I am constantly astounded by your gift to find sublime in the mundane. This shot has such character. Who would have thought???
