Smithsonian Magazine did a wonderful article explaining the inclusion of the above Cindy Sherman image into a MoMa exhibition titled "Into the Sunset: Photography's Image of the American West." I was very interested to learn that a teenage Sherman created this picture on a family vacation:
"She loaded a camera, a tripod and a suitcase full of wigs, makeup and costumes into a station wagon, and whenever she saw an interesting location she asked her parents to stop while she set up a scene to shoot."
