On my way home from what I'll euphemistically call lunch, it was lunch, perhaps
food is the euphemism, I noticed an old trailer parked in the back of what used
to be an RV lot in Scotts Valley. It may be older than I, was probably quite
the item when new, but now seems even more decrepit than I. In other words, a
photo opportunity that I couldn't resist. There is something that I find
strangely compelling about photographing things that have decayed from their
past glory.
Now that I've had a chance to look at the photos, I'm a bit disappointed. I
got a few nice ones, but none as nice as they looked through the viewfinder.
So, I'm actively soliciting feedback on what I should have done. Six photos,
two of the trailer, four detail shots.

first shot is sort of striking, looks like an IR shot, but the shadow kills it
maybe shoot a corner from the sunny end, attempting to flatten the light? or
try to get the unusual shape to stand out more (profile shot of the nose?)
is there something you could have juxtaposed with the textures and shapes of
the trailer to add interest? (it doesn't look that decrepit to me)
