Description

Photograph of Forrest Whitaker's Ford and hitched trailer sitting parked off to the side of a road near Little Lake. The Ford is viewed from the back and is parked right-of-center in a dirt drive. The trailer sits center and is hitched to the Ford. It sits closer to the camera. A license plate on the trailer reads, "19 CALIFORNIA 41 PT 174215." The trailer has a single axle and the contents it carries are covered in canvas and are secured by ropes. A building with stone posts stands at right. Behind it, another building stands. The signage on this building reads, "TANDARD O[??] PR[????]C[?]." To the left, a truck drives out-of-frame along a road that stretches on an angle to the right. In the far distance, silos stand. Power lines stretch overhead.
