1. when i first look at this photo i notice the beat up wood edge on the top board, the broken, layered board in the middle and  the worn, scratched trucks at the top and bottom of the picture. 

2. there is the front view of a skateboard that has been snapped, and the grip tape is visible, it has multi colored markings all over it. Under that is the other half of the same board, but flipped over. All you can see is the edge to which the board snapped. You see all the layers it is made of. At the bottom is a close up shot of the axel of one of the trucks, you see how it is scratched. in the background you see a blurred, but still recognizable truck. 

3. All the lines are running horizontal in this photo. The balance of the lights and darks go well with each other. The whole page is filled with the subject and the lines are clearly defined. 

4. The story this photo tells to me is that of a past board i used, and the complete, in-tact one i have now laying under it. It's basically old memories on top of new ones waiting to be discovered.

5.  My picture is like Richard Serra's works in that there is a smooth plane and then texture somewhere in there. But mine is more of a layered look and his are single pieces.
