"Oh, Look!!! Isn't the contrast of the yellow house and the blue paint on the street interesting and significant?" Probably it is. But there seems to be nothing chosen here as the subject. One could blur their eyes and essentially still gather the same impressions from this scene. This could have been shot by the nearly blind but not the color blind. Now, I myself have become a big fan of making the subject of the image obscure. Often people don't even notice the subject of my pictures. But in this case I think the same image could have been made by photographing the intersection (or near intersection) of the yellow line in the street and the blue and white painted crosswalk. The little yellow house could perhaps remain tiny in the background if it served the composition. But it wouldn't say anything more than the yellow line would say. That said... the title implies that the image was taken in Egglestons hometown. Is there any significance to that? peace, r
