low resolution photography by davin risk

Photo taken with a Canon AE-1

boxcar typo

great rusty font action going on there!!

i like the title of this photo–clever.

I was going to call it “boxcar whiteout.”

I know that some people take issue with naming photos. I’ve seen posts on other people’s blogs where they talked about the “pretention” of naming photos but I like to give mine names as I find it easier to remember them that way and a bit more interesting.

i dont see why naming photos is pretentious? silly people

I also think it is helpful although I get lazy sometimes and end up with a lot of “Tracks I” etc. But it does help remember them and it especially helps if we want to talk about them later. I can say “Hey, I liked ‘Golden Slumbers’” rather than “You know that one with the ripped yellow pillow and the discarded mustard packet?”

I suppose the pretention is in the name but half the time in our case they’re just inside jokes or dumb visual puns.

What did the original boxcar say? Were you able to make out the typo?
