Boris -- do these photographs make YOU feel sentimental -- or -- are you just
suspecting that the photographer had that intention ?
For me - old cars and dilapidated buildings provoke no special sentiment at
all (except for occasional revulsion -- and I hate everything about Texas) --
but these photos excite me anyway -- for what might be called their design --
and the thrill of coincidence that such arrangements were found instead of
assembled.
And they certainly don't make me feel melancholy --- despite what any expert
may say about photography.
(though I did just see an exhibit of Karsh portrait photography -- and hated
it -- as a stuffy, repulsive, depressing catalog of dead meat)

Here's a style of photography that seems no more melancholy than William's

Could we call this "abstract photography" ? -- (even though we can clearly
recognize familiar objects like doors, clouds, cars etc.)
Mostly -- I agree -- and I do feel something morbid about a photograph ---
unless it's passing quickly by (in a film) or offering views of good figure
sculpture. (which were, after all, carefully designed to be perfectly still)
