Looking out from inside a shrimp-selling establishment, a faded orange-colored sedan offers the only evidence of recent guests. The Coca-Cola display crate in the lower right corner sits empty, and the vast parking lot is bare. William Eggleston's photograph evokes a sense of impermanence, reflecting both seasonal transience and its economic impact.
