Gregory Crewdson uses light as a major tool to enhance his pictures. There is often a contrast of dark and light in his pictures and that is most definately the tool he uses most. It appears to me like alot of his pictures are staged and fantasy almost. For instance there was one i saw that was a man and woman sitting at a table and it was like a fantasy of a perfect couple in the perfect dining room. I really admire how he uses light in all of his pictures. It really draws your eye to one side of the picture. It's almost as if there is a dark and light side to the emotions of his pictures.

This Montage is my representing my life. The railroad tracks are representing the path I am taking. The graveyard is there to represent the people i have lost in the past year because we have had over 10 deaths in my family in the past year and a half. The church is there because church is a big part of my life. So basically this is just to show what means alot to me.

The basic message of this montage is just that freedom is worth fighting for. Which is the reason that I put thwe Alamo in my picture. They were fighting for what they believed in. The three flags in the corner picture are representing what we started as and where we are today with the lone star and the American flag we see every day.
