Broken Score Board at Abandoned Ball Field, black and white photograph by Keith Dotson. Click the photo to buy a fine art print.
I’ve always loved the texture of dented and faded old signs. Sitting just outside the chain link fence, on the far end of a weedy and disused baseball field, this fading and broken scoreboard sadly recalls days of fun and glory that no longer occur on this land. You can see the scuff marks from years of fly balls and home runs. About 100 yards away, across a road lies a vast, old cemetery — perhaps the oldest in town. Strange, the irony of two plots of land side by side, one celebrating youth and vigor and life, while the other is a resting place for those who’ve passed on from life.
This deserted ball field and these photographs hold a lot of meanings and symbolism for me, but I’ll leave it to you to interpret them how you will.
