Chris Mottalini: The Mistake By The Lake

In this series, Chris Mottalini documents the intriguing variety of home-built school bus shelters in Buffalo, New York. From the photographer's statement:

“Parents build these sentry-like structures in order to protect their children fron the brutal Buffalo winters. Though these fascinating examples of amateur architecture are created for a specific need, over time that need diminishes and the structures become merely part of their surroundings.”
