There was a photo guide photographer out at Caddo Lake the same morning I was there with a documentary photographer "DPH" accompanying. The DPH was in my frame with some great light, so I documented her. There was some pretty severe lens flare on this shot which was removed to the best of my capabilities. Caddo Lake, Texas, USA, October 2022

The question stands; why would this picture be different from a Real Estate advertisement?
Both would show a structure in an uncritical manner. The difference being -- a Real estate 'document' photo has an intent of use while a 'documentary' style New Topographics photo is a useless image. This is not semantics, but a purpose of use by the photographer at the time of making the image.
reference; Szarkowski.
Plus, "In a NT picture one cannot understand the structure without understanding the landscape and conversely."
Addendum: it is difficult for me to comprehend and subsequently digest the idea of ‘useless’ pictures being worthy of inclusion into the New Topographics genre. But I acquiesce to photography historians who are well adept in this field.
Documentary style vs. Document photo. Because it is a 'useless' image it falls into the 'documentary style' category of photography.
I present this picture to regain favor in the New Topographics community. Especially after the expressive subjectivity "stagecraft" of my previous two photos.
This ought to wake you up more quickly than a strong cup of coffee. Seen in Galway City, Ireland in the window of a thrift store.
A young man inspects the engine of a finely-restored MG from the late 1950s, lacking only the correct factory-style steering wheel to be perfect in my eyes! Seen in Galway Ireland at the annual classic car meet.
Russians losing their war in Ukraine and losing badly. Nuclear terrorism did not work out for them at Chornobyl and they want to play the same game at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which is much bigger than Chornobyl. It is so unfortunate that we have to share out the beautiful planet with such idiots...
