Seieng 2012 (#55)

For your consideration: a scene from a party, of sorts (I had a blast photographing the clutch of statuesque attendees, but most of them were stiffs) . . .

Warehoused within, well, a massive swap-meet-cum-warehouse, and armed with my (then) newly-acquired ultra-wide angle lens, this gathering of appendages and graceful surfaces drew me in, with enthusiasm, for the inviting experience of pursuing and capturing intimately close photographic perspectives — amidst a group I felt confident would utter no objections.

My goal with this series is to convey an incongruous sense of alienation and sterility, feelings of being utterly alone even while within a crowd, an increasingly common experience in these modern times when few of us know our neighbors . . .
