Solar Eclipse (Crowd Watch), 2009
from the series Solar Maximum

This shot was meant to loosely depict the idea of a crowd gathered to watch something astronomically significant taking place in the sky above. In this case, I've chosen a solar eclipse about to take place. The sun, like the other images in this series, can't be seen despite it being the main subject matter. As with most of my work, I wanted to create a very graphic setting; this row of neatly lined and simple houses are the focus of this image, perhaps the place where these characters live.
