I’ve never been in a barn without finding engine oil gathering dust on a shelf. Usually it’s Pennzoil, he favored oil of tractors and mowers and old trucks. Sometimes it’s Mobil Super Saver. This has entered my consciousness as a kind of art form, I love photographing the old engine oil containers, they say quite a bit about farms and barns, both repositories of junk and artifiacts.

Pennzoil cans will one day be in the Smithsonian. I’m giving you a jump on the future.
