EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history - the oil crisis of 1979. The image showcases a scene at a service station near Washington, D. C. , on 15 June 1979, where cars are lined up for gas. The photograph, taken by Warren K. Leffler, perfectly encapsulates the impact of the energy shortage during this tumultuous time. In the foreground, we see an array of automobiles patiently waiting their turn to fill up with fuel. The line stretches far into the distance, highlighting the desperation and frustration felt by motorists as they faced long waits just to obtain gasoline. A teenage attendant can be seen working diligently at one pump while a truck unloads more fuel nearby. The composition also includes elements that reflect everyday life amidst this crisis. People can be observed going about their daily activities - shopping or simply passing through - reminding us that even during challenging times, life goes on. Warren K. Leffler's skillful photography not only documents an important event but also evokes emotions and prompts reflection on our dependence on oil and its consequences when supply is disrupted. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how external factors can profoundly affect our daily lives and shape historical narratives.
