As is often the case, I was not sure what I wanted to listen to today to channel the feelings I am usually after to help me create my images. In the end, I decided to just listen to Rush’s ‘Moving Pictures’ album; you can NEVER go wrong with Rush. However, to finish my post-processing (the stage at which I dodge and burn), I listened to Pearl Jam’s Deep, and this is what I ended up with. In this photograph, like lost of my work, I wanted to convey a sense of dimension and depth; I wanted you to feel like you could step into the image and stand where I stood when I shot the brackets for the image. To make sure the image is what I wanted when I was finished, I turned off all the lights, and listened to my tunes while staring deep into the phtograph until I felt like I could look out the window and into the long overgrown street below.
