Only the birds and Jesus are left at the Better Donut Drive In, in one of American photographer Michael Eastman’s photos of seen-better-days small town America. Nostalgia, sadness and hope come together in a picture with themes as powerful as its color contrasts. (At Barry Friedman Gallery through Jan 11th. Check the gallery’s website or call ahead for holiday season opening hours).
