Found Art

Cleaning_the_neon

I love all of the "found photographs" at bighappyfunhouse, most of which are funny, one-off snapshots. But I absolutely, positively LOVE this one (full-sized image), which to my (admittedly untrained) eye is nothing less than fine art - the framing of the neon sign, the angles of the sign supports and how the worker's body both complements those angles while being just slightly askew with them, and the tension of the worker's precarious position all make for a near-perfect composition. Reminds me quite a bit of Henri Cartier-Bresson.
