For the most part, I’ve been going for simple and clean compositions in this series and I think this one is among the simplest.

In season, the Colony Motel parking lot would be lined with cars. Motel guests would probably be milling around doing summer things … Maybe having a beer outside a motel door, hanging towels over the rail, or dragging a cooler to the beach.

I could say that I shot this, like I did the Dolphin Motel, because there is nothing going on. But I shot it because of the broom.
