Waldo Jeffers had reached his limit.

Fotografia colorida mostrando um triciclo infantil vermelho enferrujado fotografado de um ângulo baixo, tornando-o imponente contra o fundo de casas suburbanas americanas. A imagem é enquadrada de modo que o triciclo domine o primeiro plano, enquanto no fundo, a uma distância considerável, são visíveis duas casas típicas de subúrbio e parte de uma rua residencial. O céu é cinzento e suave, criando um contraste com o vermelho desbotado do brinquedo.

294 Tricycle (Memphis) (c. 1975, impresso em 1980) de William Eggleston, mudou a percepção da fotografia colorida como forma de arte. O ângulo baixo transformando o brinquedo em monumento cotidiano, evoca o olhar infantil e eleva-o a um símbolo poderoso de nostalgia americana suburbana.
