Photographer (or wallpaper of the month).
I’m a sucker for photography in general so when I discovered Gregory Crewdson I thought I should post something. He’s been around for a while – I’m just a little slow on the uptake. His work is very filmic, and surreal which gives it the feeling of something you would see in a particularly vivid dream.
Here’s a quote from the man himself: ‘I have always been fascinated by the poetic condition of twilight. By its transformative quality. Its power of turning the ordinary into something magical and otherworldly. My wish is for the narrative in the pictures to work within that circumstance. It is that sense of in-between-ness that interests me.’
And here’s what the V&A have to say: ‘Gregory Crewdson reworks the American suburb into a stage-set for the inexplicable, often disturbing, events that take place at twilight. In creating what he calls ’frozen moments’, he has developed a process akin to the making of a feature film. Operating on an epic scale, he uses a large crew to shoot and then develop the images during post-production.
Every detail of these images is meticulously planned and staged, in particular the lighting. In some instances, extra lighting and special effects such as artificial rain or dry ice are used to enhance a natural moment of twilight. In others, the effect of twilight is entirely artificially created.
All the images propose twilight as a poetic condition. It is a metaphor for, and backdrop to, uncanny events that momentarily transport actors from the homeliness and security of their suburban context.’
Check it…

Chocolate and gorillas
So…new Cadbury’s ad. I love it, but not everyone does. In fact some bloggers on Creative Review’s site are incensed! The main theme for not liking it appears to be that people can’t see the point of it, but I say who cares about the point? It’s brilliant!!
