Time and Place: Traffic trials
Posted by Joeff Davis @joeffly on Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 9:47 PM
This week’s Time and Place photograph was shot at the corner of Piedmont and
Pharr roads. An accident had just occurred before I arrived at the
intersection and I shot this photograph through my windshield. For me, this
image is powerful because I can identify with the woman on the cell phone.
She seems to be saying, “Oh shit!” I know that feeling and I know that
expression. Driving around Atlanta on a daily basis I am shocked by the
number of accidents I see. It is unbelievable. Being a newcomer myself,
Atlanta roads are incredibly perplexing and they don't seem to be designed
with safety in mind. Exits off intersections are confusing and streets
change names constantly. Every single day, sometimes twice a day, I pass an
intersection with a person on their cell phone with this exact same
expression. Slow down people, look both ways and be careful out there!
