Photographs


Gregory Crewdson, Untitled, 2001

Andreas Gursky, 99 Cent, 2001


The remaining images are from Moyra Davey's 2008 book Long Life Cool White which I really love.  Her work is kind of the opposite of Gursky's gridded, objective, expansive compositions, focusing more on intimate, oft overlooked scenes around the house.  The records on her shelf, the still life on top of the fridge, the dust on the end of the record player's needle all become as interesting as a meticulously planned and composed scene from Crewdson or Wall.  Keep this is mind when shooting! : )
