Since my article was on Lee Friedlander, I had been looking at many of his photographs, and took a liking to many of them. I noticed in a lot of his pictures he was in a car--and he sure liked to show it. This is a particular example of this method in what I think is a comical way. Clearly there is a car up on a pole--I'm not sure how that worked out. And he is also inside the car taking the picture. But if you look closely there is also a car in the reerview mirror. According to the title I am guessing that he is comentating on the importance of cars in the American society at the time, which has proved itself to be a fast growing neccesity and item for an every day American citizen.
