Not to mention the irony of the glorious honeymoons spent in what could well be a view onto any pre-1989 Eastern European cityscape: desolation incarnate.

Very effective image.

I like the photograph, even more I like your explication on (of?) it.

I don't get it, it's an empty parking lot with a motel in the background. Not even an interesting motel, just a plain boring soviet block style hotel.

its an ugly picture, of an ugly street, of an ugly building.... and this joker is getting an award?

ooh ooh!, and the car off by itself symbolizes the last refuge of those in such a desolate locale who can't even afford to stay at the big grey building...

yeah... sure.... "art" people... sheesh

It's not so provocative and interesting that I would hang it on my wall, but it sure does speak of heartbreak and desolation. Empty parking lots in the gruesome winter of the middle of nowhere. That's bleak, baby.

I'll bet you fuckin' can't. It hard. It's a lot harder to take a picture that desolate than it is to take another pretty pitcher of a flower.

soth's images are melancholic with a twist of irony and humor- beautifully and utterly human. another great image from the niagara series: The Seneca, 2004. the subtleties, composition... alec rocks.
