Till the Wheels Fall Off: 1950s Chevrolet Harvest Run

A weathered Chevrolet pickup sits quietly at the edge of the woods, its cab occupied by a grinning skeleton propped casually in the driver’s seat. Shot in black and white, the image leans into texture and tone - rusted steel, peeling paint, and the soft matte surfaces of pumpkins piled in the truck bed. The skeleton’s relaxed pose adds a note of dry humor, transforming the scene from simple novelty into a meditation on time, decay, and the rituals of rural life.

By stripping the image of color, the photograph emphasizes form and contrast, allowing the aged truck to feel less like a prop and more like a relic. The result is a playful yet quietly contemplative portrait of roadside Americana, where autumn harvest and mortality share the same frame.
