Two doors, and a window, on the side of a metal building, in the tiny town of Los Ojos, New Mexico.
It was a lazy afternoon in late September of 2006. Only a few days before, an early snow had dusted much of that region in northern New Mexico. This afternoon, however, the weather was mild, and the sky cloudless. We were on a two-week vacation, and I was getting a bit cabin-crazy, so I decided to go for a solo drive - just me and my camera.
In Los Ojos, not much was going on. I don't think much ever goes on in Los Ojos. I stopped by the San Jose Catholic Church to see what photographic opportunities might present themselves. On the north side of the Church there is a large field, along with a covered area, presumably for outdoor gatherings (e.g., picnics, cookouts, etc.). On the adjoining lot stood this building, gleaming in the late afternoon sun.
I found the harsh shadows on the wall, complete with the dents, to be strangely appealing. Two white doors, one black window, and the vertical lines of the green wall. I wonder - how many of these structures have been manufactured? How many are still standing? How many have been found to be attractive?
