Square black-and-white photograph. Against a dark, dramatic sky with heavy clouds, the silhouette of an excavator stands on a ridge near the horizon. Its arm is raised in a curved position, the bucket suspended above a small mound of earth. Light breaks faintly through the clouds behind it, creating a strong contrast between the bright background and the dark upper and lower thirds of the frame. You wouldn’t guess it, but the excavator is on a landfill. Strangely enough, it looked rather lovely around it.
