The Rot of Authority
For me, decay applies to all things, big and small. We humans work hard at fighting the tendancy toward entropy by maintaining those objects we cherish most. Yet we neglect many others, and it is often the smaller items in our world that are forgotten. Such as this lock I came across while walking down a street. Additionally, I saw a dual aspect to the decay of this subject: that of security, of formalized control. Hence the title.

I used Nikon Capture NX for localized adjustments on contrast.
