When I first started taking pictures, a famous photographer offered me advice. One of the first things he told me was to never include telephone lines in any of my photos. They break of the sky, he said, they are an ugly intrusion in landscapes. Ever since then, I have always worked to include phone lines in my landscapes, they are part of the reality of life to me, they speak about truth. This photo is all about lines, and this is why I loved Beavis & Butthead. Because they were stupid, they were free. Because they did not know what they were supposed to think, they could think.
