New series on long exposure and gas stations.

I shot this one last night, around 1 A.M. No more cars at this time. Great atmosphere...

This shot remind me a wonderful novel of Barry Gifford " Wyoming " which has inspired Mestro David Lynch "Wild at heart" movie.

reminds me of something like *bring us to your leader* - great how you put those daily/weekly things into another light and so in art.

Je préfère celle-ci, son cadrage met le spectateur en distance avec la sation. Du coup celle-ci prend une dimension plus critique. Tu nous poses davantage la question de ce lieu en tant que tel.
