The Stanley
The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado served as Stephen King's inspiration for his novel The Shining.
I felt the photo needed to be expansive with the hotel being prominent but not focal. I wanted to try and recreate the feelings of loneliness, despair and desperation that were so prevalent as I read the book and watched both film adaptations. That was pretty hard to achieve considering out of frame, below the hotel is a bustling tourist town.
I recommend anyone who is into psychological horror as opposed to the snuff porn that passes for horror these days, give the book a chance. Then the Stanley Kubrik film. Then the ABC event. In that order.
I also have a textured version that has an even creepier look and feel that I may post later on.
