Saved To Death.

Saved To Death.

A late night inspired Hopper-esque revisiting of the juggernaut Wal-Mart. I think about limiting the environmental footprint that I have, turning off lights, recycling, converting to compact flourescents, learning how to properly dispose of them and other electronic and computer items (which take a horrible toll on landfills) – then walk into a Wal-Mart and am overwhelmed by a sickening sea of flourescent light banks and a seemingly endless tidal wave of excessive packaging and outright pointless shit. I’ll do more that convey that emotion, but got my start here.

    Lovely light and desolation (if that is a word!).
    The two trolleys are nicely situated and
    nicely frame the logo. Well done.

    Killer image Scott – love the the way the yellow diagonals work… and the way you have framed this has so much impact… Sinister and cool at the same time. Brilliant!

    Love every bit of this Scott. Love the way the two trolleys ‘point’ to the sign as if slaves to it. Especially the one on the right which is kind of hiding behind the pole.

    It looks like the trolley is on its way, all by its self to get to Wal Mart. I think this photo is a piece of brilliance….mmmmm.

    Very nice work, something ominous about the whole thing. Great use of space with the framing, nice work.
