Minimalist
I've been experimenting with Minimalism lately - a kind of "Ironic Mininalism" project I assigned myself. Here's the brief: "Say as much as possible with as little as possible... - Lots of negative space, texture or repetition, simplified subject, bare essentials - Colors, vibrant or subdued, complementary - Appears real, looks "in-camera" - except there's an impossible element... - Off-kilter element creates a question, an immediate reaction in the viewer's mind - The image must ask / say / demand something: "Deal with THIS!" "What does it mean?" "Oh... that's funny!" "Is this real?"

Listed on the National Historical Register, the ranch is located within Joshua Tree National Park. Bill Key's and family lived here from 1910 until his death in 1969. The weathered vehicles left on the property are among my favorite subjects.
