Not even the muffler, just the muffler assessment. It’ll be a few minutes, the man said. I stepped outside and looked at that snippet of Dempster where a gas station was being demolished. A thing of beauty and a joy forever, no not forever, just for the muffler man’s few minutes. I shot eight or ten frames and am showing some of them here, all without any editing.
Exiting muffler-mind was easy. I simply switched to another mode, from how-much-how-long-is-it-worth-it to ahh-horizontals-and-verticals and my preference for high horizon lines in a composition. Two, three minutes is all it took. But what a treat.
Demolition and construction sites are great for this kind of study. People on the sidewalk will step around you because they think you’re nuts. Why would you want to photograph such a mess! But you know better. You’re in your composition mode and you’re not thinking about mufflers or anything with a name.
