Danbury, Connecticut 1990

"Danbury, Connecticut" (1990) is a black and white photograph by American photographer James Welling. The photograph depicts a train, partially obscured by an overpass, at a train station in Danbury, Connecticut. Welling is known for his exploration of formal photographic elements, often using found images and exploring the relationships between light, shadow and geometry. This work, typical of his style, uses the negative space created by the train's location and the overpass to emphasize the linearity and rhythm of the railroad tracks and surrounding buildings. The train is a powerful symbol of industry and transportation, and Welling's depiction of this scene reflects his interest in documenting and reinterpreting everyday life through photography.
