Gregory Crewdson, Untitled, 1998
From the Indianapolis Museum of Art:
A solitary man stands in a dark driveway holding a six-pack of beer, spellbound by a shaft of light. Gregory Crewdson has carefully composed each detail in this photograph, part of his series “Twilight,” in which various residents of an anonymous town are transfixed by seemingly paranormal forces at dusk.
Citing the films of Stephen Spielberg and David Lynch as influences, Crewdson acts as director to actors and a full production crew. His elaborate process results in a single picture, which he refers to as a “single-frame movie.” Here, small-town America is depicted as both familiar and strange, threatening and miraculous.
Oh, hey, my wife wrote that.
That looks Nabatean, but I can’t place it.
This is in Mada’in Saleh, North West Saudi Arabia. From the time of Prophet Saleh (A.S), and the people of Thamud in Nabatean era. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site..

Possible Relatives - Tina Enghoff
“A documentation of a part of human life that few are seldom witness to – death in the shape of traces left by people who have passed away alone. Possible Relatives is a project about rejection, loneliness and invisibility –about the poverty of social contact in our otherwise economically developed welfare system.”
