 I found this old truck, and with the wind turning its fan I felt that it was just not going to give up. The fans motion was demonstrating its will to keep on truckin'. Shot next to a water hole where it apparantly quit to never run again.

smokin' shot dude! It would have been good even w/o the wind in the fan, yet that's really wild!

Nice and colorful! I see your point of despair but isn't real strong in that respect, imo.

Good concept.
In black and white this would be a better picture of despair, as it is, the yellow color and the blue sky introduce too much life into the picture.

Pretty cool!!! Did you just spin the fan blades? I don't see how that thing could run.

Intriguing in many of the right ways: colors, textures, framing. I'm not sure it says "despair" to me.

that thing ain't goin' nowhere. I like the blue sky, really offsets the rusting yellow.
