I see across the free way is the Northland Center, which is well documented as one of the first shopping malls in the US.

Ji...Four comments already? This post is on FAIYAH!<br /><br />Jim: It looks to me like they just shot at night and lit the wall from the ground, hiding the lights behind the car.<br /><br />I'd never heard of red-shirt photography! Thanks for the lore, Jim!<br /><br />CB, you must have felt that crazy little thrill to find the building still there after all this time. Cool, huh?<br /><br />[-Mgmt.]PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-9428433479543964512016-01-08T08:37:08.257-06:002016-01-08T08:37:08.257-06:00Dangit - you beat me to it!

This reinforces the "rule of thirds" composition of the photo, what with the top and bottom of the image being darkened bands. Do you suppose a filter was used during the shoot to give that effect? Anyway, it shows some AD was strong-willed enough, or a decider on the client side, to approve a photo with a huge ratio of "empty" space in order to further composition and impact. This is a really great photo. Thanks Phil!

Getting rid of the pavement texture is a huge deal - - the car seems to float. There's also the "red shirt" technique - - - perhaps the photographer was working on a portfolio to impress National Geographic.Jim D.http://thousanddollarshop.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
