In this image is my car and my great neighbour Arie.
This image is also one that I took for Writing Media Texts last semester.
In it I was attempting to channel the work of Gregory Crewdson,  who creates highly constructed cinematic images. I find his work really quite eerie and alienating. The fact that his images are almost always set in suburbia they have a nostalgic feeling, almost as if you remember the scene walking home from school or in a trashy 90s film.  A friend of mine also said that my image reminded her of Google Maps which gives it another creepy sort of voyeuristic element.

Looking back I feel that I could have stage the image a whole lot better. The body was far to close to the car and any yuppy with half a brain can tell that the dry patch of the road reveals where my car was parked moments before. I feel that I could have also enhanced the mood of the piece if I had spent more time adjusting the camera settings.

Thanks Arie for being a great model.
