A man in a brown cowboy hat and leather harness stands with his back to us in a dirt yard, flanked by white-columned Southern houses. The tall porch columns and shuttered windows take the place of the finder squares, while the modules are spread through the clapboard walls, tree foliage and the gravel-dusted ground. Bright white siding and shadowed doorways give the pattern strong light and dark contrast, and the dense detail on the harness, chain and hat keeps it from looking flat. Warm tan dust against a deep blue sky gives it a film still feel.
