This photograph was taken at the end of an afternoon in the Fells Point neighborhood in Baltimore. In fact, it was taken a few hours after I took the Rope photograph, and I was actually lucky to have gotten it because the batteries in my camera died immediately after I pressed the shutter. Because I didn’t have any backup batteries, I had to call it day after that.
What stood out to me about this scene was the lamp post and how it stood tall against the contrails across a twilight sky. The cars driving by foretell what’s to become another busy summer evening in Fells Point.
