...the mess that's America
Lyric: "I’m obsessed with the mess that’s America" ~ "Hollywood" by Marina and the Diamonds
The video/song by this band really emphasizes the glamourous excesses of American life, whereas the "mess" of America, to me, started with and continues with the working class' over-consumption of material things. I thought that the train yard and this abandoned propane truck off of Sea Street, West Saint John, would be a good backdrop (along with some logos and products strewn about the scene).
Settings: AV mode, f9.0, 1/200, ISO200, with exposure cranked up one stop.
Post-production: Matt's Sin City: Dark Red preset, with adjustments and gradients applied as needed. Minor burning/dodging and portrait sharpening/blurring in PS.
