Strip Mall Gothic II.5
I don't know, I kind of had an idea of capturing the ennui of the "strip-mall-Gothic" of American life. And how hanging out in parking lots, or in this case an elevated parking lot, is kind of a staple of depression? But life still moves below and you just kind of lose yourself watching the lights move.
At least, that's the narrative I had in mind.
I think the narrative of the gothic strip mall does come through in this photo, specifically because the figure seems isolated and separate from the overwhelming scene below. Nice composition.
ReplyDeleteThe narrative you had in mind is very interesting. I do see a pondering or processing occurring in the subject here, but also maybe an appreciation or a slowing down. It seems as though the subject is not in the chaos but above it (literally), watching as an observer. I love how you captured so much light. I would like to see this same shot but with the subject more in focus. The Five Guys feels like it's the most in focus to me in the entire composition which isn't appealing. Playing with focus and angles could help. Overall really nice!
