Caden, Long Depth of Field

Walker Evans – Long Depth of Field

Walker Evans – Joe’s Auto Graveyard, Pennsylvania

The composition of the photo has a section of broken-down cars and fields that look like they go on forever. The long depth of field gives the image a feel of barren land that continues on forever. If the background were out of focus it would have given the image a feel of cutting off after the cars, but since it is in focus it looks never-ending.
