Analysis Of The Photograph
A.) The primary subject matter within the image is the silver gelatin road to which life takes us down. In the distance we see the horizon filled with mountainous obstacles. Further down the road you see a figure/ object which could be an automobile. The vehicle is driving on the left hand side of the road indicating movement toward the viewer.
B.) Form
I.) large depth of field indicating distance.
II.) The image goes right off the edge of the frame which gives a feeling of over all size.
III.) The point of view is at eye level as if the drifter who was walking down the road captured the picture.
IV.) The relation of the elements within the frame all mesh within each other and create a very realistic state to which the view is captured within.

The image represents progression. Progression of life, love and the insecurity of the future. The sky and mountains represent the obstacles and tasks that often seem to get in our way in the path we take and roads we choose. Though sometimes the road may wind as well as lead us in the wrong direction and take us places we may not always seek, there is always room for improvement and growth. The large depth of field helps to crease a vastness which is life. The vehicle in the distant background traveling down the road represents the forward progression. It is traveling on the right hand side of the road which indicates movement toward the viewer. This movement will eventually lead to a destination. I'm sure Ansel Adams can agree in life and in photography that it's not about the destination it is about the journey and the process it takes to reach the destination. Including all the obstacles that stand in your path, and overcomming those obstacles to seek the desired result.
