this photo by John FitzGerald

Another one influenced by Robert Adams, I think.

----

Marko Novosel and Steve Bucknell have suggested William Eggleston and Ed Ruscha as other possible influences, and I agree they may have played a role here. I certainly learned a lot about composition from them.

I learned a lot about composition from William Eggleston's Guide, Marko, so I suspect you're right about his influence here.

Ed Ruscha for the compositional aspect…Twenty Six Gasoline Stations.

His Standard Oil paintings have definitely influenced me, Steve, and although the perspective here isn't as striking it's still a notable feature. ANd here's one of his gas station photos that may have been in the back of my mind:

Yes ! Adams !

Thanks, Ulrich. I might also have mentioned Joe Steinmetz. He was taking pictures of Florida similar to Adams's at the same time Adams was in Colorado. Steinmetz is chiefly remembered today, I think, for his photos in LIFE magazine of the Ringling Brothers-Barnum & Bailey circus at its winter base in Sarasota, where he lived.
